A review by readthesparrow
D'Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins

  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

If this book wasn’t about lesbians it would be zero stars. 

If you want to read a book where the two main characters are constantly openly horny for each other but are also constantly hanging out with their families, I guess you might like this?

Also it’s allegedly about a reality TV show, but the execution of the whole “we are constantly being filmed and performing who we are” was so lackluster and confusing and… barely there? That it made me so frustrated. The characters motivations were told to us (basically everything that happens is told, not shown or developed) but those motivations barely made any sense because they aren’t developed or explored. 

As it is, D’vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding was a frustrating slog to get through. I won’t say much else because frankly it might just be a matter of taste (I read this hoping it would make me like contemporary romance, no points for guessing how that ended up). 

Also: a globe is already round. It’s a globe. 

Also also: I thought we all agreed to leave calling eyes “[color] orbs” behind in the hellscape of 2010s Wattpad boy band Y/N fics, where that particular terrible turn of phrase belongs?
