3.25

Präteritum / 1.Pers / Single-POV
Trope: Sports-Romance (Ski) / Grumpy, Sunshine

+ kurze Kapitel
+ Storyline & Plot waren an sich gut
+ nicht allzu vorhersehbarer Plot
+ easy read, bin aufs nächste Buch gespannt

- der Fakt, dass sie als Au-Pair in den USA war, war in der Storyline kaum widergespiegelt. Im ganzen Buch gabs ca. 4 Szenen, in denen sie sich tatsächlich um Liam kümmerte.
- die Charaktere sind etwas eindimensional und ab und zu fand ich ihre Handlungen weniger nachvollziehbar
- teilweise war das Sprechen-Dilemma Englisch Deutsch eher holperig gelöst..
- viele wiederholende Beschreibungen (seine grünen Augen, Emotionen die darin „aufflackerten”, sein Geruch…)

• Strong character development? Yes

• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I am somewhat conflicted about what rating to give because overall it was a quick read that could entertain me. On the other hand, some things the characters did, some decisions they made were totally aggravating to me. Also, the conflict was resolved way too quickly for me, the book would have benefitted from another 50 or so pages. Still, I really liked the setting as well as the family and friends.
