raindrops333 's review for:

Melted by a Man by Andrea Andersen
4.5
emotional lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book by Andrea had a unique representation that is not often found in mainstream books, she's the reason why I read more indie authors. The way she talks about mental health, anxiety, insecurities, is one that is healthy nowadays. 
I felt that while the relationship between the two MCs was important, the plot around them was more significant. I felt it dragged just a tad, it would have benefitted of redaction to remove some repetitive sections. 
Overall: 4.5
Plot: 5
Spice: 4
Wordiness and repetition: 3
Tackling themes with courage: 5
