Worth reading 😎

Worth reading if you like YA-romance and are willing to ignore some contradictions.

When I saw the title, I thought that the supposedly insurmountable problem would be introduced earlier on and the characters would try their best to wade through the murky waters of the plot to find their HEA, but I got none of that.

What I got was 70+ pages of mundane discussions, too many contradictions, topped with a rather anticlimactic conflict and resolution. It was nice to see the development of their relationship in realtime, and I reckon I would have enjoyed this if I didn’t feel tricked.

The blurb made it seem like a problematic ex was included in the equation, when the said ex didn’t make a single appearance and was only brought up in the latter 15% of the book.

I prefer character–driven stories and don’t mind being stuck in a character’s head, but there was little—I mean, pretty non–existent—development. It was almost like the plot was happening to the characters.

That said, I didn’t enjoy this one. It might be another person’s cuppa, but not mine. This will appeal to YA-romance lovers, so if you enjoyed the likes of As If On Cue by Marissa Canter, or XOXO by Axie Oh, then this might be your jam

I have been reading since I was old enough to hold a book and, in my opinion, the only thing marginally better than immersing myself in one fictional world or the other is sharing my love of literature with members of the reading community.
