Set on You by Amy Lea

2.0

New pet peeve: books that take place in Boston, written by people who have clearly never been to Boston. A parking lot? At a downtown gym? LOL. Geographical inaccuracies aside (literally never getting over the “neighborhood full of newly constructed homes just outside the city” thing - genuinely trying to imagine where this could possibly be referring to), this book annoyed me so much. But I don’t suppose it’d be a captivating read or whatever if every single fight was simply rewritten as, “Crystal talked to Scott about her feelings instead of leaping to conclusions and they resolved their misunderstandings through communication and dialogue.” I think I’m the wrong audience for romance novels. Am I the only person who finds open communication so much sexier than just like making wild assumptions and setting up stupidly arbitrary rules to prevent yourself from having sex with the person you’re attracted to (and who is supes attracted to you)? Sorry, sis, not here for these bonkers relationship dynamics.
