ellaellaellaetc 's review for:
The Spanish Love Deception
by Elena Armas
okay okay okay so keep in mind for this review that "was this a good book?" and "did you enjoy this?" are two VERY different questions. trust me I am so so so embarrassed but this book lowkey did it for me😭😭 this was so entertaining guys😭😭 it has everything I hate in a book, the plot was so forced, it didn't deal with the disordered eating in it (and lowkey I think the only reason why it was added was so that aaron could take care of her), the "enemies" part felt so primary school the way they acted towards each other, he was just too perfect with her family and also rich and also hot (the part when he takes his shirt off and she's like "he's so hot I genuinely want to cry" like GIRL bahhahhahahah) and he was was too willing to randomly go to Spain for her for no reason? like obviously he loved her this whole time or whatever but he was just so cool about paying for 1st class flights a day before he's meant to go. also the amount of times it's mentioned how massive big huge he is??? I knew it was in the book so I was mentally prepared for it to be mentioned a lot but omg it was in there I shit you not 20x MORE than I thought, genuinely mentioned multiple times in every SINGLE chapter. the miscommunication at the start was also so frustrating, like it in a "why won't you talk to each other about your feelings" (which was actually also there) but like "why won't you tell each other basic information" these people were striking deals with each other and not explaining literally anything??? also this book was wayyyyyyyy too long and the pacing was so insane, it took them like 40% of the novel to even get to Spain for the wedding and the actual wedding scene was just described quickly in passing, like we are barely on it then they have sex and next thing you know they're back in the us. the third act break up/conflict felt so rushed also, she had every right to be worried and I thought that he would turn down the promotion but no instead you have them do some untoward in the elevator when that should seriously make her so worried with all that she has gone through?????? despite all of this, when I liked this book I liked it a lot😭😭 it's so embarrassing guys trust me I'm self aware, this was NOT a good book but it was like the reality tv of books, I would definitely not recommend this book because you have you excuse a lot of truly terrible stuff to actually enjoy this book and I have no idea how I was able to compartmentalize like this😭😭 against my own will, this was ig what you could call a "problematic fave". a very reluctant 3 stars (I'M SORRY FJSJFJSKKDKAKDK)
