London, with Love by Sarra Manning
2.0
Big London kiss to NetGalley, Sarra Manning and Hodder & Stoughton for an advanced copy of this book !
The miscommunication plot stresses me the hell out, and that is essentially a very large part of this books plot so I remained stressed throughout this book. The premise is cute and the first part showed real promise to me: two indie pretentious kids falling in love `! PLEASE !!!!! The romance (besides the two main characters being slightly insufferable was cute) Did I want more of the two of them happily ever after ? Yes !! But I was pretty happy with how the book was going, and then...
And then I saw the date 9/9/01 and I went no, and then I texted my friend going I know what this book is going to do and then it did what I thought it was going to do. AND THEN I saw the date 7/7/05 and I went not again and yes again it did happen. When I started reading this book did I expect the protagonists to get caught up in 2 (TWO) terrorist attacks? no. Did I like that they got caught up in 2 (TWO) terrorist attacks? no. Did I feel like it was cheesy and there could have been a better and more enjoyable way for these protagonists to sort out their issues? Yes !!!! A terrorist attack should probably be a big thing in a book especially a romance book. To chuck two in there ultimately serving the same purpose lessens the impact and makes me now refer to this book as 'that one romance book with 2 (TWO) terrorist attacks what the fuck I did not see that coming from the description.)
