Village Fool by 'Nathan Burgoine
3.0
ARC provided by Netgalley for an honest review
Despite me giving the book 3 stars I did enjoy the book. Let's not get that twisted. Owen seemed like your every day person so he was very easy to relate to. Plus, I have been in his position before with rehab (minus the hunky physio) so I did appreciate moments of "This is what I went through, this is the process of rehab, this is what I still deal with even after rehab." Because that is a big thing in peoples lives.
Owen's friend group was fun and I loved them all as well.
My main problem is the story had so much potential but it felt was missing quite a bit. Owen's current state after his crash is mentioned at the beginning as something that affects his life quite a bit still, but doesn't really get mentioned much again. I also didn't get a real feel for Toma. In the end the romance was good but I felt like since I didn't get to know Toma as an individual (mainly just from Owen's perspective of him) he didn't feel quite real to me. Cute romance. Would have appreciated more time with Toma and his own thoughts.
