Well Met by Jen DeLuca
3.0
I had a strange relationship with this book. I felt like I wanted to like it a lot more. Ren Faire (haven't been, but those things sound great)? Awesome. English teacher with a pirate person for said faire? Heck yeah, sign me up. Nerdy book talk banter? I will eat that up. And this book had all that stuff in there, and I did enjoy it.
It just never really felt like it delivered like it could have? I don't know. I'm sure the author has a real love for this stuff. She couldn't write a whole series including the Ren Faire subject without it. The passion just never felt... there? I don't know.
The Ren Faire scenes were fun but felt like they could have had more to them. Simon and Emily were fine, but their relationship kept jumping between extreme hate and extreme attraction without much rhyme or reason. Things would feel inorganic or just odd overall.
It was fine. 2.5 rounded up.
