I would like to start with romance is generally not my favorite genre but I have been looking to expand my horizons and needed a light hearted read. This book has been so majorly hyped I decided to give it a try, and I can’t honestly figure out if it’s because it’s not my preferred genre or if I’m really missing something here.
The book was soooooooo long and yet somehow had basically no plot? It’s pretty much 90% spice, 10% other stuff. Another thing that I noticed was there was hardly any descriptive language about settings and characters. It was hard to visualize what the characters looked like, what the places looked and felt like. Not every novel needs to be super descriptive but let me tell you when it came to the spice; descriptive language wasn't lacking there. It was tough to get through, but I didn’t want to DNF because there was a lot of great humor and I liked the MMC and a supporting character.
