Hale by Anastasija White
3.0

Something about this bothered me... some of the dialogue and explanations and phrases were sort of overexplained and cringe, I think? None of it felt natural, like the author was trying to write the characters perfectly and have them say things perfectly but it just came across weird. I am not sure how to explain it, but it affected my reading. Anyway, I do think it was an okay book for what it was, but I just needed more. I didn't feel the chemistry between Piper and Hunter. In fact, I felt she had more chemistry with his brother than him. Also, Hunter was kind of rude and mean to Piper for no reason and I didn't care for that either. I think this was just trying too hard to be a single dad x nanny trope book and it just didn't work all that well.
