The Life-Changing Magic of Falling in Love by Eve Devon
3.0
Three and a half stars, not quite four.
I don't know how to explain the things that bothered me with this book without sounding incredibly insensitive about one certain aspect, so I'll just say that it did not sit well with me.
For the first 50% of the book I liked Ashleigh but then my focus switched over to George. Somehow I found myself falling for this George, the one that defends Ashleigh to her parents, the one that sees right through her and her insecurities and knows just the way to handle them (and her). He had me swooning a bit.
What I really liked besides George, were our side characters, from the neighbour lady to Oscar and his partner. The airport parts made me laugh out loud (although I admit that that voice message made my roll my eyes a bit, that was too cheesy even for me), as did the whole situation with George and the noodle guy, just imagining what he did, not the situation itself.
Honestly think it was a fine read - I read it while doing much travelling and it passed the time and kept me occupied.
I received and ARC from Netgalley and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to both NetGalley and the author.
