A review by hannibanani29
Captivated by Eve Dangerfield, Tessa Bailey

Did not finish book. Stopped at 68%.
DNFing books is painful, especially when I made it so far in this one, but it's honestly just not worth the time and effort to finish it. I didn't hate it or anything, but I feel like I could exactly predict the next 80 pages and thus I feel no desire to read them. This book seems to be an exact replica of about 5 other rom-coms that I've read, with a few details switched out here and there. It has a big grumpy hot guy and a sweet happy girl, both of whom have been through awful relationships and neither of whom are capable of expressing their feelings to each other, despite both being madly in love with the other. And of course, the girl is about to move back home to a different continent, and they both absolutely refuse to have a genuine conversation about their future. Again, this is not a terrible book, but I am in a reading slump and this is doing nothing to help me out of it. The spice is good, but not worth sticking through any more of the cringey comedy and exhausting pining. Love you Tessa Bailey, but this wasn't it for me!
