The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren
4.0

I LIKED IT.

I’m very up and down, hit and miss with Christina Lauren books. This fell somewhere in-between. Honestly I’m feeling a little generous giving four stars, but here we are.

The plot set up and style was fun. I did like that it was unique with the TV show and romance books aspects. I absolutely adore Fizzy and Connor was incredibly swoony too. Definitely felt the chemistry from them and how much they wanted to be together.

BUT. The third act. I can’t. I can’t handle Connor offering up vulnerability, honesty and communication and Fizzy throwing that in his face. Very much rage inducing for me and I even waited until the next day to finish because this book had been going so well?!

I will commend the finale. It went exactly as I hoped and was super cute. SUPER. Therefore, it made me happy and I love a sweet happy ending.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: strong
- Romance: 2-3 open; high explicit
- Trigger/Content Warnings: parental abandonment mentioned, infidelity mentioned
