The Hookup Dilemma by Constance Gillam
1.0
1/5 stars ⭐

Thank you to the publishers and Net Galley for giving me a copy of this book! This is my honest review, all views are my own.

The Hookup Dilemma follows food critic Rashida and architect Elliot after they realize their unlikely connection after a one night stand: Elliot’s father bought a property in Rashida’s family’s neighborhood and plans to gentrify it, and Rashida is ready to fight to save it.
This book was… not for me. I don’t think it would be in good taste to elaborate much, but simply put: I did not like the writing, the plot, the characters, or the romance whatsoever—not the intro, not the middle, not the ending. I finished this book just to say I finished it (also its ridiculousness was kind of funny to me). If I were to gripe about anything specifically, it would be the nine or so references to sweat (with at least two referencing sweat between the boobs). It was just… so, so unnecessary. Also, it felt like every time the main couple was together, they were itching to tear each others’ clothes off, and it was not done very well in my opinion.
This just didn’t do it for me, personally. I have too many annoyances and frustrations to mark it even two stars. 1 star.
