The Last Romeo by Justin Myers
1.0

— 1 star —

The Last Romeo had a premise that sounded interesting, but it ended up being a disappointment.

From the MC that I disliked a lot—which unfortunately prevented me from rooting for him—, the execution that was not the best in my opinion and the writing that was not one I liked, I found myself bored not even 20% in.

Nonetheless, I did continue reading it out of curiosity (and because I still feel terrible DNF'ing books) and even if the ending was very predictable, I think it was the best way to end it.

However, there were some things I couldn’t overlook, especially the fact that the MC pressured his love interest to come out more than once (despite talks about it between the characters), and ended up pretty much outed him online (even if he changed details in his blog, it didn’t change what he did).

It's a short book, but it felt really long, and was tedious to read at times.
I understand why some might like it, but I guess it just wasn’t for me.
