The Love Haters by Katherine Center
3.5
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Center's books always promise a silly, goofy time, and this one delivered! It wasn't my favourite of hers, maybe just because it felt too similar to some of her past books. Most of her leading men have few strong character traits other than being perfect, and that was the case here too. Katie's main struggle is self-confidence and her body image, which she works on throughout the book in a believable way, and I appreciated how it was portrayed. It was just missing that extra oomph I usually feel from her books.
