Stupid Love
by Tara Wyatt
I read the other books in the series that precedes this and I liked them a lot. As that series progressed I felt the books getting lighter on emotional connection and heavier on sexual connection. STUPID LOVE seems to continue this trend.
The best part of Friends To Lovers (for me, anyway) is the glimpses of shared history. Peeks at a long-standing and deeply important friendship BEFORE sex was a factor. That is what makes the sexual connection that eventually happens that much better.
My issue with this book is that we get almost nothing by way of glimpses of the TEN YEAR LONG friendship between Lauren and Theo. No inside jokes. No stories of old adventures during the ridiculous college years when they met. No views into a deep caring beyond these two holding back hair while the other vomits. The history is the best part of Friends to Lovers and the history is kissing from this book.
Having said that, these two have some seriously sweet scenes that will melt your heart. Swoon-worthy moments. And HOT steamy scenes with dirty talk for dayyyys.
I so wish two of those steamy scenes had been cut (there are plenty of them) in favor of their shared history and the moments of friendship we never get a glimpse of.
RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️
