evarano's review against another edition
2.0
1.5 ⭐️
Hairpin Curves follows former friends Megan and Scarlett, both in an in-between stage in their lives. They receive an invitation from their third former friend to attend their wedding in Canada. They decide to take the trip together, despite not speaking or hanging out for many years. Over their journey they realize there are many feelings that have been held back that have now begun to arise.
I really didn't enjoy this book, the beginning started fairly strong but fizzled out quickly. While the writing is decent, I disliked the focus of the book being only on the two main characters. Their chemistry was lacking, I found them very immature and not kind to one another. Further, I found their plans so flaky and unrealistic, it would've been cheaper to just fly to the wedding...so I couldn't get into the plot. I really didn't feel the connection between the two of them. Megan's brother was absolutely horrible, I was happy he was out of it fairly early on. The book was predictable. All in all, I found the book quite boring and basically skimmed through it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review!

I wanted to like this one 😭 It sounded so good, but unfortunately it didn't hold up against my expectations. Neither of the main characters keep a consistent characterization, the dialogue is cringy, and it's just boring. The disappointment is real.

For some reason, I wasn't able to distinguish the characters. Which was possibly just a me problem, not a problem with the book.
