The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

lighthearted fast-paced
  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did! With most romance stories I struggle to buy the development of the relationship within the defined time but here it kind of made sense? It’s the nuanced discussions of mental health for me, they didn’t have to be so real with those (yeah fine ok I will start looking for a new therapist again). 

The conversations around asexuality and demisexuality made me tear up every time and need more books like that so badly (also more than one aspec character in my silly little book? In this economy???)

I was going to give this five stars until Choices Were Made at the ending that were just really weird to me?
Like?? I’m sorry but it’s one thing to show up in the background of scenes accidentally but it’s an entire different thing to be deliberately edited into an entire season without consent and I just don’t buy the little thing he signed as an excuse.
