Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey
2.5
Okay first of all, i read the second book of the series first (the story of Natalie and August).. and i liked that one far too much more than this one, i can’t even compare them.
this one had the potential, but didn’t even reached one quarter of it. it was entertaining for a bit but very VERY boring too. i believe it went all down very quickly from the middle to the end for me, at the beginning i was okay with it, but i must say that even if i tried i couldn’t find joy reading the second half of it. i also didn’t like at all the whole secret letters idea because they were introduced AFTER they already “re-met” and it was all absurd from my pov. the miscommunication really pissed me off a lot through the whole story, and the conflict at the end really seemed out of place.
Julian pretty much carried the book and i have to say it.. the man it’s definitely not on my list of male characters that i liked at all, yes he had his moments, and it was pretty much what made me finish the book but i was hoping (and begging honestly) for MORE.
Hallie just wasn’t for me.. i swear i just can’t take that much of immaturity from a grown up woman, it was the little things like her obsession for FIFTEEN YEARS over a man she really didn’t even knew?!? i mean, when the story begins it makes you think like something happened between them and that they knew each other somehow but they just almost shared a kiss one night at a party that he actually didn’t even remember.. i get the crush on the guy but comparing every single man on your life the last fifteen years over JUST a guy who you almost-kissed??! and her behavior really crossed the line of rational. so yes, it was a big no for me.
