You're It
by Cleo White
🇺🇸 To be quite honest, it was the 'laser tag' trope that drew me to this book.
I can't help it, my curiosity will get the better of me, that's for sure, but not today because this book has turned out to be a wonderful discovery. We follow in the footsteps of Savvy, the FMC, in her quest for a more stable and successful life.
Faced with the debts left by her father, she has no choice but to team up with his best friend to raise from the ashes the business her father left behind: a laser tag to which he had devoted his entire life.
The catch: Darwin, 18 years her senior, is also the man she was madly in love with 9 years earlier before a 'mysterious' event broke off all contact between them.
I'm not a big fan of clumsy, disaster-prone female characters, but I loved Savvy. Perhaps because the 'disaster' part is ultimately her distorted view of herself and not necessarily reality. I found her brave, clever, resilient, and passionate. She also has a very soft side, which shines through in her interactions with Darwin.
Darwin was also a very pleasant surprise. When you start a romance with a big age gap between the characters, you expect a certain type of male character and I was surprised to see that he breaks most of those clichés. The fact that he suffers from significant obsessive-compulsive disorder makes him a unique character and his development was incredible to watch.
His disorders are a real obstacle to his life, happiness, and relationships, so to witness how he overcomes them to be with Savvy was really great.
