Before the Coffee Gets Cold

DID NOT FINISH: 43%

I’ve been “finishing” this book for 8 months now…
As short as it is and as compelling as the story appear to be, I think it genuinely looses me in the translation  

Lucie Yi Is Not a Romantic

Lauren Ho

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

DNF - For such a conceptually
interesting plot, I have no desire to pick this up and figure out what will happen to these characters.
I'm a mood reader so I will give it the benefit of the doubt and try to finish this again when I'm in the right mindset for it.
Since I took this book out from the library and other people are waiting on it, I will be shelving this for later.

The Maid

Nita Prose

DID NOT FINISH: 9%

Will give this another go in the fall.

Update: I will in fact not give this another try.

It Happened One Summer

Tessa Bailey

DID NOT FINISH: 38%

I just don’t think this is for me.
I’m not invested in the characters and it feels like the author is trying to sell me on the idea that they have chemistry. 
May revisit but not finishing it for now.

Weather Girl

Rachel Lynn Solomon

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

Had to return to library. Will finish at a later time 

The Layover

Lacie Waldon

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

Will pick up again. But for now, I’m not reading further.

The Dating Plan

Sara Desai

DID NOT FINISH: 2%

This book just made me realize that the fake dating trope + second chance trope give me the ick. And it’s the whole plot.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown

Talia Hibbert

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

Honestly, I didn’t really like their banter. Eve was literally running this B&B and he would find any reason to not like her. 

May give it another go later on.

The Road Trip

Beth O'Leary

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

Lost interest in the back and forth 

The Fine Print

Lauren Asher

DID NOT FINISH: 36%

Awful. No character investment. No chemistry. Very cringy.
