A review by saarahnina
Her Perfect Hero by Emma Bennet
2.0
This was a cute book. A bit short. 197 pages or thereabouts. Not a huge amount of comedy.
Brontë was likeable but only to an extent. She really tested my limits. Particularly because she seemed to have no backbone in her relationships but presents as someone a bit stronger in her thoughts and perspective which is shown to the reader.
I feel we were deceived. I also feel we needed more of her story… Where were Bronte’s parents? Family, siblings? What did she do before becoming an author? As a young woman? I also didn’t like instances where it said “Bronte and Ryan (the other potential love interest) talked about…” I would have preferred reading their actual dialogue because it would have helped me connect to them. Also just naturally more interesting.
The ending was the final nail in the coffin for me because all of a sudden, Ryan reads like a corny, swooning man who wouldn’t be out of place in a Shakespearean play. It was rushed and uncharacteristic of the characters.
I’m over it.
