The Backtrack by Erin La Rosa
2.0
I was excited about this book, because I love alternate storylines but man was this not good. Well, deeply mediocre, I guess.
Neither of the main characters are well developed, or fleshed out; they feel surface level and vague. The nostalgia got really old after a while, it was like hitting the reader over the head with specifics that didn't effect the story at all, and felt forced.
Actually, the whole story felt forced; i was not convinced Damon was right for her at all, their chemistry was seriously lacking and i just didn't believe them.
A lot of other minor quibbles, but essentially it boils down to I didn't believe in these people's love story. Which is a bummer because this is a cute premise.
