Blame It on the Brontes by Annie Sereno

2.0

This book sits on a throne of lies. Literally everyone in this book is lying to each other or telling half truths. If I was Athena and found out that this many people were lying to me I would not be uprooting my life in San Francisco to move back to my hometown. I definitely would not be dating a man whose lies messed with my career. I really wanted to like this book. It was full of literary references that were fun, but the story just did nothing for me. The romance between Athena and Thorne felt forced. Their relationship was a mix of coldness, issues from the past that were never fully explained or explored, and lust that somehow wasn't steamy. The big reveal was so obvious from the get go that I was really hoping there would be more to it, but there wasn't There were a few side characters that I liked but they could not save this book for me.
