Not for the Faint of Heart by Lex Croucher

3.5

Really struggled figuring out how to rank this one. The adventure, political drama, friendships, and comedy aspects of it are really good.

It’s just hard to love a romance novel where there’s not much making you want to see the couple together. I love Mariel and Clem individually and think the author did a great job with their characters, but there’s not much supporting their relationship on the page. Also, Mariel barely thinks about Clem or does anything nice for her until maybe the last two chapters. I wanted so badly for her to care about her love interest more. Clem deserves someone who will support and respect her, and I’m not sure if I believe that Mariel will.
