It's a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan
3.5
funny hopeful slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a slower-paced romance, but ironically I felt the escalation of the romance was a bit too fast. The third-act breakup and lack-of-communication tropes were definitely present, which I don’t mind but also don’t love.  Overall, a sweet and relatable love story with well-developed characters that just fell a little flat for me at times. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Putnam for the ARC.
