A BRUSH WITH LOVE
I wanted an easy, romance read and that's exactly what I got.
Harper and Dan are dental students, 26 years olds. Harper is addictively academic; constantly studying and focussing on her grades. When Dan enters her life, he's immediately hooked and wants to spend more time with her.
Harper's obsession with studying leaves her seeming slightly cold and dismissive. She insists she does not have time nor mental space to engage in any romantic relationship with Dan.
The book explores their friendship, and both their longing to be with each other. I found Harper frustrating. I wanted to shake her and make her realise she could have balance.
One thing that was slightly conflicting was the characters were supposed to be 26 years old, but this felt much more like a teenage/YA romance. It possibly would have been more believable had they been at high school. For example, the text messages between Harper and Dan, and between Harper and her friends.
Having said that, it made it a light, easy read and I was rooting for them. (no pun intended...rooting, roots, dental... you get me)
What I did like was the focus on dentistry; something I have never really read about before!
There was a big smut section too, FYI!
4/5
