Beth O’Leary has taken a unique but simple concept, combined it with great character building, creative scene setting and all of the warm and fuzzies to write this wonderful story.
This is an easy read, in the sense that there aren’t overly complex story lines or 100s of characters to remember.
The story itself addresses some important issues, which is done in a tasteful and realistic manner.
This book made me smile so much. I loved Tiffy & Leon and they are two if my favourite protagonists going.

Every detail feels like it has been thoroughly thought through. The relationships between the protagonists and secondary characters are brilliant and add to the narrative even more.

Also the cover is adorable, exactly what I would have picked and gets the message across! I’d recommend this book highly!

I really wanted to love this book. Our Stop was one of my favs from last year: a fantastic feminist will-they-won’t-they.
Unfortunately, The Love Square just didn’t grab my attention. I loved the inclusive characters, the cliche-less MC and secondary characters, the original spin on a well known romance trope.

The issue for me was that the story execution was lacking a bit. I loved the premise, but it somehow felt a bit hollow?
It might have been my mood at the time but something was missing for me!

First of all I need to say that 3 ⭐️s isn’t a negative review from me.
I enjoyed this book, I thought it was an easy read, great for holidays or a palate cleanser.

I just thought there were a few frustrating or cliched moments that stopped this becoming a favourite or the type of book I harp on about for weeks on end.

This is set in Manchester and Cheshire which I love because it’s close to home, I love the references to places I live near and found that very satisfying
