The set up for the story, the actual plot line, the character tropes and even the chemistry/angst between the characters was good. Why the characters felt complicated feelings towards each other in the beginning made sense. But the writing, grammar and even the tenses were so eugh. There was a point when the author was referring to a patient room number and changed it from 5 to 9 halfway through the sentence?? The grammar and tenses were better with the audiobook but following along on the ebook killed me.
Basically the plot was good but the writing was awful.Nobody mentioned there would be an accidental pregnancy trope🙄 it’s so unbelievable that a man who’s promiscuous and adamant about never having kids wouldn’t even ask his sexual partner if she’s on birth control and worse, how does a nurse not think about contraception when she’s about to have sex for the first time? She even talked about how she wasnt ovulating blah blah like what kind of nurse doesn’t know that you can get pregnant at any part of the menstrual circle?! It just pissed me off so much. Plus I hate how the mmc was acting towards the end, even when she finally told him about the pregnancy until he came around at the very end. We didn’t even see their actual relationship, granted the pregnancy happened fast but we barely saw their relationship itself. All their interactions were filled with sexual tension and then eventually they all became sexual in general without properly getting to know each other, etc.
I hate that the author used the accidental pregnancy trope because I would have actually liked the book because there would be more relationship building and I would have liked the mmc if it wasn’t for how he acted about the pregnancy. I was going to end this by saying what’s the point of rushing, she could’ve made this two books and included the pregnancy trope later on until I reached the end of the book and realised it ended on a cliffhanger. One of the reasons why I pushed through the end was because I wanted to see what happened and it was for nothing 🙄

"See You Soon" by Lexie Axelson introduces readers to an intriguing storyline and the palpable connection between Ari and Danny. The emotions woven into their characters create a solid foundation for a captivating military romance.
It's important to note that while the book holds a great promise, my reading experience was somewhat impacted by recurring grammar, syntax, and word usage issues throughout. I understand that these things can sometimes slip through the cracks, and the intention behind the story is commendable.
Ari's journey as a recent nursing graduate navigating both the military lifestyle and personal loss is touching and relatable. Similarly, Danny's portrayal as a Navy SEAL grappling with his own struggles adds depth to the narrative.
The ending's cliffhanger successfully piques curiosity for what's to come, underscoring the potential for an engaging series. To truly allow the strengths of "See You Soon" to shine, addressing the editing concerns would make a world of difference. The story possesses moments of genuine emotional power and intrigue, and with a bit of polishing, it could reach even greater heights.
I will absolutely be reading book 2!

Şu kitabı yarım bırakmamak için kendimle savaş verdim. Kitabın başarılı olduğu tek bir yer yok. Öncelikle edisyondan geçmemiş gramer hatalarıyla doluydu. Mantık hataları, zorlama smut sahneleri, yırtık dondan çıkar gibi klişenin dibini sıyıran hamilelik tropeu… Danny dallamasını Ghost’a benzeten herkese akıl fikir diliyorum. 250 sayfada anlatılacak hikaye aynı şeyleri 50 kere tekrarladığı için sakız gibi uzamış. Bu kitabı okuyacağınıza gidin ao3’de Ghosts & Mirages okuyun çok daha keyif alırsınız.
I couldn’t get into a single character. Danny had a personality of an angsty wet noodle. And I swear every single chapter he had to mention she was a virgin. Nothing wrong with virgin characters but the obsession of it drove me fucking nuts. This truly could have been amazing but it fell flat.

Everyone annoyed the shit out of me. Not one lovable character. The FMC was the only bearable one.

Not sure how I feel about this. Danny was so wishy washy. Kinda drove me crazy. Ari was a mix. She was strong willed but could be a doormat at times. She let him get away with too much. What she chose to stand her ground on didn’t always fit with the current situation. That being said, I felt a connection to the characters. Strangely enough, I felt his feelings for her more than hers for him. I did not like her friend Meredith. I loved Emelia. Kane irritated me. I do want to read the next one.

I think I will struggle to put words together for this one lol.
It was smut first then romance second, without much plot besides the MMC being a douche? I really didn’t like either of the MCs very much. Ari had zero backbone and let Danny trample her. I mean there really wasn’t any development between them besides when they were having sex.
The amount of times Danny said he was dark, had demons, black soul, blah blah was too much for me. Then the amount Ari had this good religious girl persona, but was SO naive.
It was a decent filler book for me, I will still probably read the second one.
