Hard Pass by Sara Ney
5.0

This was another purchase during the whole Quarantine thing. Somehow I missed out on an early read on this one as well. In fact I never even saw a sign up! Believe me, I hopefully have made sure to be keeping up with all possible future books, and am signed up to review the second one in this series when it comes out. But in order to do that, I wanted to read this one first. And I’m glad I did. One thing I love about Sara Ney’s leading men is that sometimes they aren’t the perfect model image guys that you expect. So often we have the leading lady who is a bit chubby or doesn’t have the best self-esteem, and that is me, so I get that. But to have a guy who often people might describe as a “hard pass”, well that is not always the way things are, and I’m okay with it the way Ney does it. In a way I wondered if this was going to be a bit of a Cyrano de Bergerac story, but it didn’t quite go that way. But there was so much realistic stuff in this one that I sped through it as well. For instance, is it so much to just want to have a conversation with someone on a dating app or texting, and not feel like you’re pulling teeth? To me that shows there is no connection. If there was, I feel like the conversation would flow. In the end I loved how the story went, and now, I am soooooooo excited for Buzz’s story. He cracked me up, and as I mentioned on another review in this post, I love the funny guys!
