In the Weeds was a romance with potential that fell flat for me. I never felt connected to the main characters and often felt annoyed by references to the FMC’s “brown skin” without any other reference to her identity. It felt like a half hearted attempt at diversity without an actual commitment to building a diverse and in depth character. 

I did like the farm setting, but I feel it was better done in another romance I read recently. I really wanted to like this book, but romance is all about relatable characters and In the Weeds did not deliver.
