Max & Josie | Strangers to Lovers | M/F | UNHAPPY ENDING
What an unnecessarily sad ending. This book was going to be 5* until we got to about 70% of the way through it when the miscommunication trope started.
I HATE the miscommunication trope bc it shows that the couples can’t communicate, and if the couple can’t communicate, I no longer think they should be together. Then OUT OF NOWHERE, he dies. So those last precious months of his life that they could have spent in love and happy, they spent completely separately all because of a huge misunderstanding?!?!? What a dreadful concept.
Also there was so much suffering for the main character…like why? Both her parent die, then her Boyfriend dies, her other boyfriend cheats on her and she loses her job??? Wtf??? Why?? What was the reason for so much suffering for one person.
Anyway, I wish I never read it and it’s left me feeling deeply sad.
