A review by plsnotanotherdamselindistress
The Anti-Boyfriend by Penelope Ward
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
This book was able to make me internally cringe at least at every interaction the fMC and the love interest had...
They met each other for the second time and talk for the first time and ½ of their conversation is sexual innuendos and them constantly winking at each other and their conversation simply not being how people talk.
Also I can see what was tried with the first conversation about her daugther having down syndrome and I liked the perspective but the conversation ending with him thinking/saying:
“Thank you for sharing all this with me.” This conversation had changed the way I viewed people with special needs.
Was just more proof that this book needed more editing.
