A review by kylemhaggerty
Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas
2.0
Not for me
I wish I had enjoyed this book. I am certain part of the disconnect is something lost in translation. I consistently struggle to enjoy romance novels, so that is doubtlessly another contributor. Beyond that, the characters feel, at most, two dimensional and self absorbed. The story feels predictable, so much so that 400 pages in, I’m ready to stop reading again because nothing has surprised me or elicited emotion yet. The irony of writing a bad review for a book whose main character is a hypercritical literary snob doesn’t escape me, but nonetheless I cannot recommend this book.
