1.5
fast-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I read Bookmarked by Bella Jay in December and couldn’t wait to read more of her work! But sadly I didn’t enjoy this one. Firstly, there was way more telling than showing. The characters are thinking about the dates they went on after the fact instead of showing the dates in real time. Some dates were shown in real time, but the interesting dates were just thought about. 

This book also made me realize how much I don’t like friends to lovers sometimes because she thinks they’re friends, but he’s just been plotting on her ever since he met her. He became friends with her just to date her, which is very sad to me. I also don’t like the woman mc. She didn’t even really like him. And I think he was just in love with the idea of her.

And the accidental pregnancy at the end, which I always hate, really just made it seem like she was only with him now because she’s stuck. Also, when she left the party, he didn’t even make sure she got home safe. They did not care about each other fr.


This just wasn’t it for me. But I still wanna read more Bella Jay in the future to try to recapture that Bookmarked level story.
