Donut Fall in Love
by Jackie Lau
This book was truly not the best.
-The writing was clunky and suffered from the common mistake of telling and not showing how the characters felt and what thoughts motivated their actions.
-The FMC and MMC had absolutely zero chemistry. I truly believe the only reason the MMC had feelings for the FMC was because she didn’t treat him like he was famous, which is not the sole reason two people should date.
-The “redemption” arc for the MMC’s dad was nonsensical, and both the MMC and his sister would have been better off going no contact.
-The third act breakup was so stupid that it’s almost laughable.
-If I took a drink for every time the MMCs abs were mentioned, I’d be dead by page 10. The gratuitous use of his abs as a plot device to show off his “cocky” personality actually took me out of the story and did not work at all.
Despite these infractions, I did like reading about the MMCs struggle with being an Asian-American actor; albeit it still felt surface level. I think that could have been explored in a much more meaningful way.
Also, this book really did make me want a donut or some cake.
