WAS THIS A ROMANCE?

BLOG || INSTAGRAM

I don’t feel like I had too high of expectations when I picked this up. I was just looking for a cute romance to entertain myself for an evening. And I feel like that romance was missing.

Most of this book was dedicated to Katie trying to stop a resort being built her in her small town. And while I was behind her trying to do so, it took over any other plot points and I got bored. I wasn’t interested in the multiple side scenes and kept waiting for things to actually happen.

Maybe in the second half there were a few good moments, but when you’re already feeling meh I wasn’t connecting to much at all.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 2-3 low explicit open door
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of parents (recounted)
