The Do-Over

T.L. Swan

4.02 AVERAGE


I enjoyed the book so much until about 60% and then I lost interest. The first part of the book was intriguing with the back packing through Europe and both characters growing closer together. But once they stopped traveling and went back home, it was like a completely different book.
Chris was over bearing and did not respect Hayden at all. She let so much slide with his behavior, like lying about who he was for 12 months and springing the truth on her as the limo pulled up so she couldn’t respond. Treated her parents pretty terribly Basically ignored her when she went to London to live with him.
Saw them adopting Eddie from the beginning. But I wanted Hayden to leave him and find someone better.

Oh Christo!! I waited in such anticipation for your story, thank you for delivering and being exactly who you were!!

I have often been intrigued by backpackers; their willingness for adventure and getting a glimpse of what the lifestyle can entail was really enjoyable!

They genuine way that Christopher and Hayden's relationship developed was what I loved most about this story, and I am not sucker for the "friends to lover" trope. TL Swan continues to delivery on her top notch banter and I'm so glad there was a huge plot including all the Miles Brothers. I am sad to see this series end, it's been a great ride!!

The only reason I am not giving it more stars is because the format and writing style seemed different from the other books and had a very awkward rush from moment to moment and scene to scene.
