A review by abigailcooper
The Once and Future Fling by Leigh Heasley
4.0
while i did enjoy the book, i felt as if there were a few things that i just simply couldn’t get past. i liked the idea and the premise of it was pretty cool, but for lack of better words, there simply wasn’t enough there. i wish there had been more to it. more of an explanation, more of a fleshed out relationship, etc.
but that being said, i am going to rate it 4/5. mostly because i did enjoy it, even if i had a lot of questions for it.
i kept track of my thoughts while reading. here they are:
- i hate the phrase food porn
- don’t ever let anyone say your thighs are CREAMY. excuse me? no.
- i reckon sam uses the word reckon a lot. i reckon it’s gonna get on my nerves.
- what’s with the spelling of brunette? is “brunette” just the american way of spelling it or
- the hell? celena’s accent had taken some time getting used to? am i reading this right
- go shower if you smell that bad. ???
- affair. okay.
- the sibling nicknames are vile. whatever happened to bro or their actual names
- i’m so confused bro
- okay but i like henry. go back to the gangster. what’s wrong with it??
- taking the gangster out of the city. is that a good idea? OUT OF HIS TIME?
- candle before bed? babe. house fire???
- why is she not more worried about the stalker?
- choo-choo.
- WHAT. what kind of plot twist is that? that’s straight out of a TikTok POV video where the person has ran out of ideas. i’m actually so upset right now over it. i had to put the book down.
- i’m livid. whyyy.
- okay. so i’ve been placated by the ending. everything seemingly tied together. but… that was a lot. so much happened and i don’t even know where to start.
