callmelefteye's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
Was looking for something quick and romantic and since I heard a lot about this book so I decided to listen to the audiobook. But I was overall disappointed (and a little disgusted) with it.
I'm a fan of enemies to lovers, but this one didn't really feel right. And I really didn't like the language the author used in describing the characters (the fatphobic comments for example). I also really didn't like the constant emphasis on how small and petite she was in comparison to how big he was. I get that's common, but in this book it turned my stomach and was reminiscent of pedophilia, especially when you think of how she's given childlike descriptions and interests with her toys and her PJ's. It really grossed me out and I wish I could take back what I streamed.
