Hot To Go by Kristen Bailey
2.0

This one was a bit of a mess, honestly. Way too long for what it was, with a ton of random side info that didn’t really add anything to the story. The bond between the characters felt super forced—but it never really came through in a believable way. Almost was a DNF, and had to skim through pages to get through.

There were a couple laugh-out-loud moments that made me smile, but overall, it just didn’t land. I kept hoping it would pick up or click at some point… but nope. Just kind of missed the mark for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the advanced copy of this book. I had high hopes for this, as I love the author. But other books of hers are just more enjoyable.
