Book was fine, probably. I simply thought I could do 2 lit fics in a row and I was sorely mistaken!
I am just not a hockey romance girly, at least not when they’re so straight lmao
- Lots of telling, not enough showing
- The emotions I saw felt unearned because of it
- The tenses were changing between past and present constantly, sometimes in the same sentence 😭
- Turns out following white people on the Oregon Trail is not my preferred form of romance, even if they are gay
- Also Luke (a woman who lives as a man but doesn’t think of herself as one??? Idk some potential trans rep here) is so holier than thou actually
- Don’t love the depiction of indigenous people
- The language feels too modern! I just refuse to believe this is how they would’ve spoken in the 1800s!
- Also the
surprise pregnancy isn’t doing this book any favors for me
Anywho no MAJORRRRR sins, all just things that irked me, but this book is way too long to finish it when I’m constantly annoyed by it 🤷🏼♀️
- I was bored?? Like I liked Sumi and her whole “I gotta get out of this career” thing cuz relatable, but we were spending too much time there
- I did a search for his username (idk his name because I never got to one of his chapters I fear) and never found a time where they DISCUSSED that they’d been chatting the whole time???
- Also again REALLY long flashbacks
- Anyway that made me not into reading it and then Emma finished it and rated it 2 stars so I’m out
You know I was okay-ish with this audiobook narrator up until the first spicy scene
Yeahhhhh this one just wasn’t for me unfortunately.
I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS but I just could not get myself into it unfortunately. The prose just isn't my vibe + some of the stuff I read in reviews suggested this would not be my thing. I may return someday? Never say never and all that cuz there wasn't anything particularly bad that made me DNF. I was just dragging my feet to read it and that is my sign that it's time to stop.
