A review by nssutton
Love, Me by Jessica Saunders

emotional sad
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? No

3.0

I was excited to get to this one based on others's reviews, then not excited about it at all, then realized neither were the other people who I had seen review it. I can't quite put my finger on what didn't work, but none of the characters felt particularly likable in the way the author seemed to want me to like them so their actions did not seem to make sense to me. 

(Sidebar: the Varsity Blues bikini reference tripped me up for days - a high school girl confident enough to do that for her boyfriend at the time? I could not comprehend.) 

(Second sidebar - asked me husband to describe in great detail how he would handle a secret poker gambling addition, because that also felt off.)
