If Love in Focus were a cocktail, it would consist of a base liquor of friendship moments, a shot of forgiveness and alcohol (no metaphor needed here), a lot of talk about love, with the vibes of Casual by Chappell Roan on top.

And while the concept was amazing, the delivery had its weaknesses, so I had a bit of a hard time when rating this book.

On one hand, you had some really awesome takes on love from a big variety of characters, and on the other, there was the entire conflict between Gemma and Celeste, which was solved by a conversation pretty early on, but which ended up changing hardly anything in the long run and didn't really help their conversation skills either. 

Regardless of my thoughts on the story, I loved the voice acting. The actors were excellent choices for the two main characters and showed all of the feelings of the source material with the biggest emotional impact they could have.

When taking this into account, I decided to round my rating up to 3.75 stars. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Audio  for providing me with this ARC in return for an honest review.
