Note: I do recommend reading Set On You before this book, but there won't be spoilers in the description, only if you read the book in full will there be spoilers for Set On You
General Description: Tara has had her heart broken 10 times. However, Tara still believes in love. She decides to explore the second chance romance trope in real life. With the help of her roommate Trevor, she starts to find the men who broke her heart. Trevor isn't one for a relationship, but seeing all the men Tara is considering affects him in a way he wasn't expecting. Will Tara find love and will Trevor be able to enter into a relationship like he never has before.
The good:
- I liked Trevor as a MMC. He felt honest in his support of Tara
- The romance plot is sweet. Their interactions in their shared apartment were enjoyable.
- Tara isn't the worst? The relationship between her and her grandmother is my favorite part of Tara if I'm honest.
The loss of 2 stars:
- This felt like a worse version of The Plot Twist by Erin La Rosa. The second chance romance hunt didn't feel as genuine.
- Then, the second chance interactions were so outlandish, it felt like too much for a contemporary story and took me out of the book. The book felt very disjounted with this weird journey while also trying to balance the relationship Tara is forming with Trevor.
Overall, I don't fully know who this is for out there. It's just a mid book in my opinion. I think if you liked Set on You you may like this book?
