This Time Next Year by Sophie Cousens
3.0
lighthearted slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book provided a charming start to my new year. It has a winsome and quirky cast of characters that draw you in, make you laugh, and sometimes make you roll your eyes. To me, the characters were the high point of the book. The storyline is your classic rom-com. Minnie and Quinn are fated yet unwilling. Chance meetings and unrequited love make up 90% of the book. It’s pace is slow and completely predictable. But the characters (particularly Minnie’s odd group of friends) kept me engaged and ultimately made it enjoyable.
