ARC Review- This was a 3-star read for me. It was a fun read, but it wasn’t my type of book. Maybe it was because of my expectations, but it was a rom-com with a dash (by dash I mean the tiniest sprinkle) of darkness. I really enjoyed the side character of Regina. She’s such a boss. I want to be Regina, but sadly, I am Dierdre, which isn’t a bad thing. Diedre is a typical girl, but then again, she’s a character in THIS world when there’s another universe out there. Think of creating a dream (or in this case, nightmare) world, and in that world, you are still you. That’s how I felt about Dierdre. I didn’t hate her, but I also didn’t love her. Another scene I liked was the key fob vibrator in the restaurant. I thought the jealousy on Scar was so funny and idk it made me chuckle.
What prevented it from being a five-star read was that going into the story, it was a little confusing. I understand the climax grabs the interest of the reader, but I was REALLY confused. Another problem I had was that Dierdre was so a like Selah personality-wise from Elevator Pitch that it was hard to see the fmc as her own character. Regardless, the author is an amazing writer, and I’m so excited to read her next Hapless in Love book.
