No Rings Attached by Rachel Lacey
Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.
I believe that I had this on my list for a while (despite not reading the first installment), but well... this was not what I expected. And not in the good way. It was really hard for me to click with the style, the development was on the slow side and quite monotonous. I was invested at points, but it barely went somewhere so my interest decreased.
😍 The good:
The book started in a promising way, the plot was interesting and the characters' apparent personality and backstories as well. Sadly, the rest was not really up my alley.
😅 The not-so-good:
The characters started becoming quite problematic rather early in the book. The plot was overly dramatic and the pace was too slow even for a slow burn: a lot of talk, not much happening. Initially, the attitudes seemed healthy, but they evolved in a quite problematic manner. After reading some spoilers, I can understand why people feel that the story is predictable (either simplistic or traumatising), and I just did not feel the characters' romantic interactions overall.
