Read Me by Lauren Connolly

5.0

This is the only time TikTok has ever done right by me. They pitched it as sunshine librarian/grumpy tattooed patron with a soft spot for her, and they hit the nail on the head. I had such a great time with this. I genuinely loved both of the characters. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic was executed perfectly. So many authors think "grumpy" means "mean" or "angry," when really the character just needs to be charming and grumpy, which Cole definitely is. Also, he's a cat guy and a fantasy writer *heart eyes*. Summer's chatty eagerness and desire to help and break down his book fort balanced things out perfectly. The plot was pretty basic, but I was engaged the whole time because I just really enjoyed the characters. I'm going to be picking up more works from Lauren Connolly in the future.
