Yeah, I should have DNFed this. I acknowledge that choice. I kept thinking there’d be a turnaround. There was not.
First mistake, the instant, first chapter, all consuming, I’m in love with this person. I know this can be accomplished well, but here, there was absolutely NO ANGST. None. I wanted to feel something for these two, but being thrown into love within the first chapter annoyed me. I knew nothing about anyone before the entire plot was laid out. You knew exactly where things were going. I could have told you the plot (including “twists”) without reading more than the first chapter.
The initial issues ramped up the pronounced drama throughout. There’s some good moments in here about a few things, but that was the small good I found.
I didn’t like how some of the characters were portrayed either. A lot of it bugged me.
I think I’ll stop here. It’s enough.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary romance
- Language: strong
- Romance: kisses to closed door
- Trigger/Content Warnings: discussion of infertility and a past miscarriage, growing up in foster care, a parent with a drug addiction, losing a spouse to cancer, losing a spouse to an accident, divorce
