Can't Let Her Go by Kianna Alexander

lexxislit's review against another edition

The dialogue doesn’t feel like the way friends speak to each other… friends know each other already…. They don’t need to go in depth to explain certain things.

a sneakerhead with 70 pairs of shoes favors her Sketchers?? This seems… not reflective of true sneakerheads

Repetitive conversations…

Truly there were many reasons I did not finish. I found myself angry after each session asking why certain details weren’t different… I really wanted to love this book but it felt like it was supposed to be about a couple of teenagers and not adult women.

i wanted to love this but i just couldn’t. i didn’t really like the writing style and the dialogue just felt so awkward and unnatural. it also didn’t help that i didn’t like peaches or jamie that much as characters or as a couple.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I must admit that I was super excited to read this book. Friends-to-lovers is my absolute favourite genre. However, at the time that I received the ARC, I feel that the slow pace of the work was not for me. I do think that Kiana outlined the way relationships that stem from friendships have many aspects to consider that romance novels tend to brush over.

That being said, it's because of the slow pacing that I attempted to read the book thrice and eventually DNF'd it. In order to not affect the book rating, I'm giving the book the average rating at the time of my posting this review.
