A review by harlando
Castaways by Pablo Monforte, Laura Pérez

1.0

Not a fan. This is a romance/missed connections story told over two different time periods. one shows the young lovers meeting in university and then being separated by a move. Alejandro seems to have ghosted Julia. They meet again years later and he tries to get back together and she shuts him down.

I found the romance tepid and uninspiring. These two seem to barely like each other, though maybe that is something as neither seems to like anyone else, and I don't feel like they have much going on. Yes, their later romantic partners are also flat and probably unsatisfying, but if the main romantic story is the best you've ever had, some sort of interventions is in order.
