not to put anyone off this book but i really didn’t like it. i haven’t liked any romance novels, i really hate the tropes abs the dialogue and the characters.
The only thing I liked about this book was how neither of them wanted kids, the names of the stores in town, and how the writing was good. But some of the major plot points were so random like;
Why is Charlie’s mum so insistent that only family can run the bookstore? That’s just stupid. Literally could have avoided the whole book if she wasn’t stupid. Charlie’s character also felt like it had no depth. I couldn’t see any spark between the characters and I didn’t care for them whatsoever,, it made me cringe rather than cry when they decided to break up rather than go long distance. And breaking up would’ve been a better end to the story because coming back together didn’t make any sense. anyways.
.
i guess romance is just not for me !
