bookrecsbyjess 's review for:
The Bro Code
by Elizabeth A. Seibert
Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this ARC. This review consists of all my own honest opinions.
CONTENT WARNING: mentions of previous sexual assaults, car accidents, and divorce
WHAT I LIKED
- Eliza & Nick were likable characters and had lots of cute moments together
- Some of the dialogue was pretty funny
- There was character growth in relation to toxic masculinity
- The story was told from a guy’s POV (I typically read stories from girls’ POVs)
- I was invested enough in this story that I read it really quickly
- It was mostly fluffy (even though it was pretty predictable)
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
- Even though it was told from a guy’s POV, I could tell that it was written by a female author since many things didn’t seem realistic to guys I know
- Some serious issues like sexual assault were brushed over too lightly in my opinion
- The “bros” still had a lot of messed up thoughts that they weren’t really held accountable for
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Even though some parts were problematic for me, I would still recommend this book to others.
