In a Not So Perfect World by Neely Tubati Alexander
3.0
"It's far too rare to look around and be in awe of what you see."
we are conflicted folks.
One one hand, subplot is highly misogynistic. On the other hand, it's fiction and karma handles that .
On one hand, this book coulda been about 150 pages shorter if there was even a sliver of honest communication by MC Sloane. So many cowardly lies and lies of omission. On the other hand, this is not unique and really the case for more romance novels than not when centered around twentysomethings. I was under no duress at the lib when I grabbed this one.
Rounding my Switzerland 2.5 up to 3 because it isn't Neely Tubati Alexander's fault that I have Funny Story on deck and just wanted to get this over with. By no means a hate read, also not a book I'd rec for my friends' TBR.
In conclusion - the beginning was slow and the middle was goooood and the end was rushed. The setting fulfilled a reading challenge prompt. The characters were well developed and kind of amazing. Despite the giggles here and there, In a Not So Perfect World fell flat for me.
"Love suits her."
