Not the man I thought he was by Phoebe MacLeod

very mid. i loved the writing style (the audiobook was very easy to listen to) but the premise of this book is ridiculous. it’s basically slow burn without any burn because the MC thinks the love interest is gay for like 80% of the book. WHY

This is a miscommunication nightmare.

*massive spoilers ahead*

This was my first experience with an audiobook and it was interesting. The narrator was average & the story itself was very slow paced and extremely predictable. I was just patiently waiting to see it all unravel.

Madison and Toby just don’t click to me. I don’t feel any connection at all, but that’s because she assumed he was gay & he didn’t express any flirting or feelings towards her.

I didn’t like it nor hate it. Forgettable.

I’ve enjoyed this series of books, but wish they’d been listed as a series. I’d much prefer to have read them in chronological order.

Pick-me girl denkt dat kerel gay is op basis van 1 zin aan het begin en komt er pas achter dat hij dat niet is na 90% van het boek. Miscommunication trope kan soms, maar dit is wel wat overdreven.

Ze hadden een leuke vriendschap, maar ik voelde wel echt geen chemistry dus veel romance vind ik er niet aan. De simpelheid van het verhaal is wel goed voor mij om als audioboek te luisteren en het is lighthearted en easy, maar dan vond ik haar andere boek veel beter.
