A review by katiemack
The Flip Side by James Bailey
2.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
2.5. This is...fine, I guess? Romance novels written from the POV of a cis dude (without the dual M/F POV) are rare (not that they need any more exposure...), so I was looking forward to seeing what Bailey did with that.
Overall, it's pretty formulaic, but it's a pleasant read. There are some predictable conflicts, and some events that are glossed over more than necessary, which was disappointing. I enjoyed Josh's relationships with his friends; in fact, I was even more interested in the lives of his friends than I was in his life.
If you're looking for something cozy with no surprises--for better or worse--give this one a try.
