Compared by Kortney Keisel
3.0

Thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for allowing me to read this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

In Compared, we meet Meg and Tyler. Meg is a teacher who recently lost her mother and Tyler is the father of one of her students who recently lost his wife.

While there is an undertone of grief it does not dominate the story. While this is a cute story, I wasn’t blown away or hooked into the story. Being a second grade teacher, I thought I would connect with the main character but I had a hard time connecting with her. I didn’t always feel the chemistry between these two. I usually read a rom-com and find myself smiling or laughing out loud. This book didn’t have me do either. Again, there was nothing wrong with the book, it was just okay. This book is clean with no spice. I do like the side character of Meg’s dad though.
