A review by hannah_reads_2020
In the Event of Love by Courtney Kae
5.0
Everything you want in a cosy, sapphic, Christmas, second chance romance.
Is this book full of tropes? - Yes. Did I care? - No. This book was like a warm hug. I liked that it was from just one perspective, Morgan. The small town girl who fled to the city after high school and never looked back. After being forced by her boss to take a sabbatical from her role as an event planner to celebrities after a PR disaster, Morgan reluctantly accepts an invite home to help plan a fundraiser. But with how she left 7 years ago, how will everyone from her old life react to her coming home.
I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Morgan and Rachel take off. It was subtle to start with and I liked that they talked through most of the issues from the first time like mature adults and the miss-communication trope only came into play with a recent event.
It had the best bits of a Christmas novel, small town, snow, warm drinks, cold days and Christmas trees.
We check off many many tropes in this book
The slightly comically evil corporation trying to take over a small town trope.
A second chance romance trope.
A miss-communication trope.
A friends to lovers trope.
Whilst this novel trends a fairly well worn path in terms of tropes, I loved that it was sapphic and it was just fun.
