“You are a woman who, in a life filled with pain, came here to ask about love.”

This was so cute! It has great representation. I loved how Red and Chloe dealt with their own insecurities and traumas separately, but then we’re able to choose to work on them together. There was lots of banter and there were some very sweet moments. Overall, I enjoyed reading this and I could definitely relate to Chloe’s fears. I’m excited to read the next book!

It started out really promising, I liked the characters nearly instantly.  Then a few chapters in, not as much.  Some of the conflict seemed a bit dramatic, in a way that could have been easily solved.  It was kinda weird to read because at first it seemed like a YA but then all of a sudden there was spice.  Which is fine but it was just boring and when they got together it was like all the chemistry they had left out the window.  It had another white cis man being too emotional without knowing the full story because of his own insecurities.  I know he had past trauma but so did Chloe and she didn’t jump to conclusions so quickly without being mature about the whole situation of him finding out he was on her list.  Kinda ruined the book for me tbh.  So I just have mixed feelings.  I liked some parts of it but I also disliked some parts of it.

Enfin un livre de romance qui change un peu ! Des personnages qui changent, une écriture plus sophistiquée. En bref, un slow burn rafraîchissant

This was really cute. The beginning was a little dry but once I got into it I couldn’t stop reading. Their whole relationship was really sweet and the epilogue was even sweeter

The writing style is exhausting to pay attention to, honestly. I’ve seen better written books. 

Overall, the plot centers around the building of a relationship between two characters that happens over the course of two weeks. It’s an unhealthy start, an unhealthy middle, and I guess they live happily ever after, but..,it didn’t sit very well with me. It romanticized an emotionally charged and reckless relationship.

Some may find it enjoyable. If that’s your kind of book, I guess it’s okay. I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it to my friends and family.
