Ugh.

This was fine at best. Didn’t really enjoy, very predictable and not in the typical romcom way. I’m obsessed with romance, probably 70% of what I read is romance so it’s not like I’m anti “they end up together” tropes. I LOVE romance which is why I’m so upset at this one!! I quite enjoyed The Love Hypothesis so I was v excited for this one.

There is a LOT of emphasis on him being tall and her being small. And it’s fine if size difference is your thing but it doesn’t really do it for me, and this book cannot go more than 5 pages without mentioning it.

Another thing to dislike? Her constant and willful ignorance of his feelings. His inability to act like a grown ass adult (ie not rude and unable to be in the same room) when he’s near someone he finds attractive.

He made her feel bad and dumb for YEARS and then he apologizes once and she’s like “ok now I’m fully onboard, into you, and I have no more hurt feelings” ????? Why! Why is it that when men are bad at communicating, women must instantly forgive?

Cannot believe the ending (not in a good way). THE CAT??? The long villain speech??

It feels like the author and the publisher wanted to capitalize on the success of The Love Hypothesis and so quickly wrote a slightly different version and didn’t bother to really edit it.
