Better Than Me by Kimberly Kincaid
3.0
As a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy, I loved this book! I felt like I was reading a book version of the show. The hustle and bustle of the life of a surgeon was beautifully displayed as well as the emotional attachments of Natalie along with the cast of doctors and nurses that she works with. Natalie and Jonah's story is different yet has a hint of a cliche. It's different because of Natalie's sheltered background--at first, I really struggled with the fact that she was a 32 year old virgin but her rationale did make a tiny bit of sense even if I felt that it was a bit far fetched. It's a complete cliche that Jonah is a player and that the quintessential player falls in love with the virgin who by no fault of her own becomes his temporary roommate. A sweet friends to lovers romance complete with a swoony worthy book boyfriends and comic relief in the form of Connor.
Although speaking of Connor, I struggled a bit with the epilogue changing to his POV. It is a terrific lead in to his book which I presume is the next book in the series, but I wanted to hear more from Jonah especially in light of what Natalie was enduring. How is she coping? How is she surviving both physically and mentally? Connor's POV the reader on gets a fraction of it. The epilogue is more Connor focused.
