1.0
It had potential. But that's about it.
At the end of the day, this story was too forgettable. I was bored and I wanted to DNF it, but I really despise leaving a story unfinished.
It was just too...tame. I couldn't feel anything or connect with the characters. It honestly felt like the author was writing an essay for class without much thought or passion. Like she was forced to write it.
It wasn't horrible. It was just too sweet. Someone else might like this book better than me. I'll leave it up to you.
Would I re-read this? No.
Would I recommend this? No.
Was I entertained? Some of the smut scenes were hot, but god, this book ultimately bored the shit out of me.
Happy reading, Goodreads fiends.

HOW TO FAIL AT FLIRTING by Denise Williams is the super cute romcom with a dash of gut-punch and real-life lessons that you didn’t know you needed. For real. I went into this not expecting the tough conversations about how a survivor of abuse enters a new relationship built on trust and understanding, and I came out the other side full of love and rooting for our main character. While this is definitely a romance, it’s also a book about a woman discovering how to be whole again. It’s a journey of self-love, as well as companionable love.

Overall, the abusive ex situation was not for me, but the nerdiness was.
I received an ecopy of this book via Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.
