To Get to the Other Side by Kelly Ohlert
3.0
This book is very much like dating. It seemed fun, sweet, and exciting at first, but towards the end, the 'cute weird habits' became major annoyances. Romcoms tend to follow a pattern: meet-cute, some flirting, dating, an issue that could break them up forever, and then the happily ever after. If done properly, it leaves you rooting for the couple.
This book did not have that. Although I rooted for this couple at first, I did not once the main character started displaying rather toxic behavior. Extreme evasiveness and throwing stuff at someone is not cute. Then going down a spiral even after someone clearly communicates what is going on. It was originally a 4 - 4,5 start read for me, but after the 80% mark it went down to 2,5.
I finished this book almost a month and a half ago and thinking about how there was no mention of MC getting therapy for her issues still makes me mad.
