The third act break up killed the chances of this being a 4.5 or even 5 star read but I can forgive it…

Solid read! I loved the love story and chemistry between the MCs!

Unfortunately Tessa Bailey’s stand-alone novels tend to be a bit of a let down for me and this one was no different. Not even a somewhat attention grabbing murder mystery could bump this rating up any further.

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

This book was way too confusing for my romance loving brain. I really struggled to follow the narrative line so it’s a no from me…
