*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
Oh I wanted to love this book so much. It has everything: second-chance romance, small town charm, forced proximity... but somehow it just wasn't enough for me. There was just too much left unsaid (like did Robin actually cheat, or was it just in my head??) and there really wasn't an explanation for why/how things ended the first time; and more importantly, there was no apology for their first breakup. How can two people really give things a second try if they haven't processed the first ending together?
Their romance felt lackluster, and I was never fully invested in them getting back together anyway (maybe it had something to do with the fact I thought Robin was a cheater, but that's besides the point)-- and it's hard to really enjoy a book if you're not rooting for the couple.
I'm certain this will be a lot of people's jam, and I would love to read some of the author's other works because I can tell she's a good writer, but BED AND BREAKUP just wasn't my favorite.
