Complicated
No está mal, pero la autora tiene libros mejores.
Está escrito en tercera persona, y creo que es algo que tampoco beneficia al libro porque hay momentos y diálogos confusos en los que la autora no especifica correctamente quién está haciendo/diciendo qué. Se le da mucho mejor la primera persona.
Aunque la historia es aceptable y engancha, siento que hay partes en las que falta más desarrollo para poder "implicarte" en el libro. Algunos comentarios y frases, a su vez, se sienten muy forzados.
Las escenas +18 suelen ser similares y rápidas. Quise leerme este libro porque en su día me leí El Amor Pende de un Hilo y considero que es un libro con un mamarracheo de 10, por lo que supuse que el resto de sus historias seguirían más o menos el mismo estilo, pero este libro ha sido un poco decepción porque resulta monótono en cierta parte.
Hay tensión entre los personajes, pero no la ha desarrollado tanto como para hacerla tan palpable como en otros libros, por lo que el conjunto te deja con una sensación de casi sí, pero no.

Thanks so much to Netgalley, the publisher, and Lucy Score for this ARC of Pretend You’re Mine!! Lucy Score is such a comfort read for me, so I was super excited to get book 1 of her Benevolence Series!
Pretend You’re Mine follows Harper and Luke. Harper is new in town- after catching her now-ex cheating on her, she decides to leave town… with no wallet, phone, or gas money. When she stumbles into the town of Benevolence and helps break up a fight, she meets Luke, who reluctantly offers to let her stay with him as his fake-girlfriend to keep his family from commenting on when he’ll settle down. This book had the banter and spice Lucy Score always delivers on and kept me entertained throughout!! There’s a reason she’s a go-to author for me and I can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series!

Out of respect for myself (bc Harper didn't earn any respect) I'm giving it one star without having read the book lmao, just seeing the reviews and how horribly this motherfucking widower treated the fmc is enough
❛Harper wasn't Karen. And that was the problem.❜
❝You're only here because she's gone.❞
❝I can't look at you without wishing she was here.❞
Not to mention other atrocities like putting his late wife's picture on the wall of the house he shares with Harper.
I would have cut my wrists reading this, it's a shame because I wanted to read the author, but I will always distrust those who are capable of writing THIS.
