Talk Bookish to Me
by Kate Bromley
DID NOT FINISH: 27%
Thank you to the publisher of the book for a free netgalley.
And while I am thankful for a free book, this one is a big NO go for me. Here's my reasons why:
- Almost the whole story has been written in dialogue. Ummm is this a screen play or a prose?
- The dialogue is all "witty banter". I am not sure when romances became 100% sarcastic banter? My husband and I make sarcastic jokes, but apparently we are more mature than most modern rom com couples because we actually have real conversations.
- I find it weird that her best friend is pushing her EX boyfriend onto Kara. Does she not know the background of this relationship? I find it weird that her best friends does not even know.
When I decided last night if I was going to finish this book, I decided to come onto Goodreads and I am happy I did.
Cheating on your fiance should not be used as a romance trope ever. Cheating should not be romanticizes. Lying to your ex about your current relationship status should not be used a POSITIVE plot point.
While I could prob finish this in just a couple hours, I am choosing to not and move on!
