I went in with high hopes for this but I found the writing really disappointing - the “humorous” style didn’t land for me and wasn’t well executed. The book felt overly soapy and ridiculous, the characters were cliche, and the dialogue and interactions felt wooden. I did enjoy the last third more - particularly Sara’s revelation of the main characters assumptions, but overall I would have preferred the author wrote about her experiences (since she is obviously knowledgeable / an expert in the subject matter) in a less slapstick way. It was also overtly sexual in a way that felt forced, like an editor said “and there must be a hot romance” and boom Tom as a character was conceived. Would not recommend.
Had been looking forward to this read with all the raving reviews on booksta but couldn't make it past 20%. The insecurities thrown in the readers face, and the commentary: it left a really bad taste in my mouth.
A re-scroll through booksta highlighted most of the raving reviews were from a specific background/group, which explains things.
The book had so much scope, but ugh. Good reminder to see who the book hypers are in the future.
