It was a tossup if I was going to rate this book a three or four. But I ended up leaning towards a four. I think if I was in a different frame of mind, I would’ve liked this book a lot more. However, I’m in the mood for a book that surprises me. This one unfortunately didn’t. I still really liked it though. I think this could be a comfort book. It’s lighthearted. I think the drama is minimal. But just missing that oomf that would make me love it.
One thing that I’m noticing in the books that I’ve recently read is that authors are including traits in characters that are impacting their actions and then not explicitly discussing those traits but only implying it, specifically mental disorders. For example, in a previous book, I read the MMC was an alcoholic. But it was never explicitly said or talked about. Same in this book, the MMC had depression, but it was only ever implied, and it wasn’t explicitly acknowledged. It was like once the FMC came into their lives all of their personal problems went away and they didn’t have to do any internal work.
