Passion Project
by London Sperry
I loved the concept of this, but I wasn’t a fan of the execution at all. Possible rage review?
I didn’t believe the chemistry between Bennet and Henry. I feel like he wanted to be with her more than she wanted to be with him. Sometimes it felt like she didn’t even like him at all. The spice wasn’t even good and made me cringe.
I really did not like Bennet. It felt like she was constantly making decisions she knew would hurt the people around her and then got defensive if they called her out. It felt like she was using her grief and depression as an excuse for treating people horribly. I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at her actions and words. I literally liked every side character more than I liked Bennett, which is a problem…
The character development was nonexistent. I like to see characters evolve and grow both personally and in their relationships and it simply didn’t exist in this book. Just when I thought there might be a smidge of development from Bennet, she’d go and do something that put her right back where she was.
Henry is too damn good for Bennet and deserved SO much better.
The only two things I liked about this book were the NYC setting and the message that you don’t have to have your life together to deserve love.
This was just not good.

Spoiler
I would not trust Bennet as a grief counselor for one second. She couldn’t even get through her own grief and you expect me to believe she’d be able to help other people get through theirs? Give me a break.Henry is too damn good for Bennet and deserved SO much better.
