I Want It That Way by Karen Grey
3.5
emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed going back to the 90s with the setting of this book. The world of this fake relationship also had the extra with characters I’d met in other books in this series. However I did miss out on one book so there were a few things I need to go back and catch up on to make some of what happened a little clearer for some of the side characters. The characters had chemistry for sure, and their situations were ones that fit together perfectly.
I loved the fact that his past was encapsulated by a catch-phrase, one that even worked in perfectly in some situations in real life. Dani’s methods for helping Luke be able to drive again were unique, but worked perfectly. While I wasn’t blown away overall with the story, it was an enjoyable read, and as I said, I do still want to read more of the series to find out what has happened to all these characters in the friend group and those adjacent to them.
