laurpie 's review for:
Donut Fall in Love
by Jackie Lau
I would give this a zero if I could, but I can’t so I give it a 1. There were two side characters I liked (one of which got a sequel—I will not be reading), everything else was awful.
I skimmed past 50% to the end; I’m so sorry to everyone involved. I do feel a bit bad rating this book so low (Asian representation was good, and it seems like the author is very earnest and passionate about writing), but I genuinely felt like I was reading the first draft of someone’s manuscript at times. “She smiled, it fucking slayed him.” is a real sentence that a real person put in a book and a real company decided to publish. There’s little to no character development, no chemistry between the leads, and a large amount of repetition. I’m not the hugest fan of the rom-com genre, but I’ve read several others; this one is unfortunately the least entertaining and the first I’ve DNF’d.
Really wanted to like this, but…DONUT read this novel.
