Make Up Break Up by Lily Menon
2.0

I wish I could say this was something special but for me, it just...wasn't. Make Up Break Up fell into every trap an adult romance could fall into -- the constant (and holy hell do I mean constant) miscommunication, the coming into every situation armed with only your assumptions, the painfully obvious ending that made me want to shout at the characters to just GET ON WITH IT PLEASE the lackluster side characters, a painfully abrupt ending (when will romance authors realize that we want to read about their characters actually being together??? I can't stand when books end the moment the main couple gets together), the ""banter"" that just made me cringe with secondhand embarrassment. Honestly, this is not at all what I was expecting from Sandhya Menon's foray into adult romance. It lacked her usual charm and style for what ended up being just incredibly bland. Even the premise is boring and overdone -- if I never read another "rival dating app CEOs" romance again I'll be living a better life.
