After having read 3 fantastic romance novels (two Emily Henry's & 1 Carley Fortune - run don't walk to those authors), this one did not live up to the hype. Perhaps if I wasn't coming off such perfection I would have liked this book, but the first 100 pages read like directions to how Saturday Night Live creates their weekly shows.
I appreciated reading a book set during the world pandemic and how "less than super hot women" struggle to get noticed by men we are attracted to, but their romance was LACK LUSTERED.
I find the trope of women getting in their own way so annoying when they're also trying to portray the same female as these strong feminist characters. Wah, but why would he like me... when he's actually using his words and telling you.
This book had a long wait time at my library and I was so pumped when it was finally ready for pick-up, but I'm here to tell you that you can wait.
