Let's talk about Let's Talk About Love. I wanted to read this but put it off so I never got around till now. I picked this one up a few days ago and read it. I glanced the blurb, thinking that I would enjoy this book. That was until I saw the low ratings and reviews. When I finished Let's Talk About Love, I was underwhelmed.
It starts with the first character I see, Alice, living her hedonistic life with a minuscule portion dedicated to work when her partner, whose name I forgot, broke up with her since the relationship wasn't fulfilling enough. She spends her life alone after the opening pages save for when she meets her friend, Feenie sometimes. Even though Let's Talk About Love is enjoyable with its quick chapters, unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives, forcing me to lower its rating. I couldn't connect or relate to any of the characters. Alice is 19, but uses terms like 'Cutie Code.' Really? I don't think any 19-year-old in this world acts this way. There was no chemistry between Alice and Takumi, so I didn't delight myself in reading that. It's not clear if Let's Talk About Love is authentic.
To summarise, Let's Talk About Love initially looked promising, but after reading it, I only found it to be a dissatisfying reading experience, and you'd be better off reading any other romance story other than this one.
