Unromance was so clever. Each chapter was separated into typical romance tropes, and our story followed them, but often with a little twist. Our main characters have a chance encounter in an elevator, and keep running into eachother. Our FMC, Sawyer, is a jaded romance writer who needs to get her romance groove back to beat the writers blocks she's had since her last break-up. Our MMC, Mason has the opposite problem--he keeps falling in love too easily, and as a TV star, the tabloids are having a field day with his string of failed relationships. The two team up-- Mason to inspire romance for Sawyer and Sawyer to ruin romance for Mason.
This was so so fun! Mason is the epitome of a cinnamon roll, and I love when a jaded character with a hard exterior starts to crack and open up.
4.5/5

Cute story, the characters were fun and likeable for the most part. The plot is predictable but it's well written. If you're looking for a light and enjoyable contemporary romance where you know exactly what's going to happen, you won't regret picking this one up. I would have given it 4 stars if we could have forgone the forced need for a third act breakup... the build-up of which felt out of character for where the characters had gotten to, especially Mason's part in it. I also found Sawyer spent a lot of time moping over her past relationship and then occasionally her family stuff came up too, but I think it would have felt a little strong and a bit less whiny on her part if her parents and Sadie had split equal time in making her mistrust relationships.
The FMC references her vagina as “coochie mane” during foreplay…it’s a no for me.
This went on way too long and like where was the conflict and learning? I think I learned that if I have writers block I just gotta fuck it out.
3.4⭐️
Somehow a bit disappointed about this book. I’ve been hearing such a good things about it that my expectations were too high!

A love story between a skeptical romance author and hopeless romantic actor?! Sign me uppp.
This was such a fun premise, but it lost me a bit in the middle. I truly thought I would eat this one up, but maybe it was a case of right audiobook wrong time??? I also listened to it in a damn heat wave in NYC, and a lot of the action takes place in the winter so maybe the vibes were just off. I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't fully love it.
I did, however, love the bi rep. ♡ And the tights scene? Thank you. 🤌🏽
I struggled with how to rate this book. 3 stars? 3.5 stars rounded down?
