Love Your Life
by Sophie Kinsella
This was a hot mess of a book and sadly it did not work for me. Initially I was hooked by the premise and I had really liked a lot of Sophie Kinsella's other works, so I thought that this would be right up my ally, but oh boy how wrong I was. Reading this was like watching a reality tv show where two people hook up and then immediately date, aka: red flags everywhere. Barely spending a week together, they both decide they love each other without knowing anything about the other person. Once they get back from the retreat and actually begin a relationship and learn about the other it is road blocks everywhere because: duh you both don't know a single thing about each other. Ava was immediately obsessed with Matt, to a worrying degree, and was in denial about how much they were incompatible with each other. Reading their interactions and conversations just made me cringe and want to scream: just break up, you both are better off. Ava is exhausting, she is over eager and a bit unhinged, while Matt is just a tepid and lukeworm love interest. They both keep brushing off all these things that they dont like about the other and barely talk about the main issues in their relationship. Every chapter is just Ava being annoyed at Matt or Matt just brushing her off. ( If I'm being honest I was more invested in Topher and Nell than Ava and Matt). I cannot find the chemistry between these two. 83% and they finally recognize just how bad they are together. The ending just conveniently wraps up everything and suddenly everything is okay again. So, all in all, this book was not for me but I want to thank Netgalley for sending me a arc anyways.
