London Belongs to Me by Jacquelyn Middleton
3.0
London Belongs To Me
Pros
- Fandom related content
- Cute romance (though did feel the tiniest bit forced to me at times). Cute nonetheless.
- Character development of protagonist, Alex, and her friend group, family (we had enough information to go off of).
- All the details of London (ie the theatres, knowledge of train stations etc) - was well researched
- Liked the hints of feminism throughout; especially the in-depth knowledge of the suffrage movement
Cons
- For some weird reason this book kept giving me anxiety when the protagonist and antagonist would go up against each other, and for such a pathetic reason - clearly my mind nor my body likes girl vs girl - this also kind of contradicted the vibes of feminism that I feel the author was trying to create by having the antagonist be so possessive and ready to fight other girls for ‘her man’.
- Also, some of the characters actions and speech just felt a bit unnatural to me (Alex is American and I English so maybe it just felt cringey to me for that reason).
Overall, 3 stars. Was fun but obviously, like the protagonist, Im not a fan of having anxiety induced upon me.
