gods where to start...I tried so hard to get into this one but at this point I'm just annoyed and not having fun so dnf it is. When I first started I was so shocked that the dog had a POV and was very curious t see how that would go. I'm crazy about dogs and that sounds like a fun time. Turns out I ended up hating the dog, something I didn't even think was possible. The way the dog was so humanized he came across as an annoying possessive cishetero guy was so disgusting. Talking about dogs like they are your boyfriend/girlfriend is just such a weird ass thing and they joked about it so many times! Just a big no. I might've ignored that and kept going but the main characters were also so boring and came across as so indecisive and awkward for no reason! The misunderstanding that came about just from miscommunication was borderline unbelievable and something that should've been dealt with in a more in depth way than it was. Honestly the characters also didn't feel comfortable with each other at all and it felt very unbelievable that they had dated previously. I have a lot of feelings about this one and none of them were good idk how I got this far into tbh.

Love Bites is a cute second-chance romance that I'm glad I read, but it's not super memorable, despite the fact that one of the points of views of this narrative is told from the perspective of a dog. I admire the attempt though. And the premise and the reason for the break-up and the reveal that betrays the whole logic for the breakup is really interesting, it just didn't come together as nicely as I would have hoped. I think I need more from the romance and (it pains me to say it) less from the dog.
