I don't read a lot of romance because it typically can't keep me super engaged, but I absolutely loved The Charm Offensive and devoured every word of it. Alison Cochrun's writing style is playful and witty. She also creates impeccable characters. Charlie is adorable and so charming and vulnerable and Dev is relatable and complex. I loved how diverse the representation was from the bisexual and lesbian princesses to the nonbinary and asexual best friends, as well as the discussions about sexuality, sometimes race, and of course, mental health. It's hard to not offend when writing about a lot of these topics, but Alison's efforts worked so well. This book was quite literally charming. The bachelor concept did not feel overdone, in fact, Cochrun made me want to be a part of it. A delightful read!
