a little too instalovey for me but I’m too intrigued to care. hopefully the 2nd book is enough to subdue my gripes. however it is very much a true phenomenon that when an author you love writes tropes you hate, they are somehow okay in context.
i HATE insta love. I hate insta attraction. i hate the “we made eye contact and I’m automatically soaked” kind of writing. which this book is sadly full of. obviously in real life you can meet someone and instantly wanna jump their bones sometimes. but i prefer a slow burn. i prefer finding someone unbearably attractive because you KNOW them deep down, you know their quirks and weirdness and and then you want them. sometimes this book felt a bit superficial. there’s some time jumps which is another thing I hate in romance books, only when it’s in terms of relationship development. we lose a whole month of their relationship that i could’ve seen go deeper, to make me really feel like they’re in love. time jumps make sense in friends to lovers, i don’t need to see every moment of a friendship. but I prefer to see people fall in love???? i am often a DNF girl once i get like 5 chapters in and there’s already talk of boning. however when this author writes some of the things I hate the most in romance books, it is immediately excused because there’s always some kind of mystery. i want to dig deeper anyways.
