It's Raining Men
by Julie Hammerle
I have to admit, I struggled to write a review for this book. On the one hand it was a fun and quick read. I enjoyed the premise, with the almost bachelorette like feeling, back and forth between which man she would ultimately end up with.
But I think what I liked about it also made way for the problems. While it was overall entertaining, it was also a bit one dimensional. The scenes with the other two men sort of fell flat, which in all honesty may have been the point. We probably weren't supposed to fall in love with them as much... but it certainly would have made the will-they-won't-they more interesting if readers were a bit more invested in the characters.
I really wasn't a fan of the friend dynamic in this book either. It was the catalyst for the main plot, I get that. So it was necessary for some of it to happen. But again, it didn't feel natural at all, it just felt forced and underdeveloped.
Overall, this was a fun read and I would recommend it to readers looking for a quick and light romcom with some elements of the marriage of convenience trope.
