Because I'm Yours by Claire Contreras
2.0
I read this as an arc and I was unfortunately disappointed, and I really wanted to like this book. I’ve actually been avoiding writing this review because I just didn’t want to revisit this book at all in any capacity but here we go.
This is my first book by this author so maybe I just don’t like her writing style because the timing and saving of this book felt so jumpy and confusing. She also over explained things that i felt weren’t important to the story so I was like “okay what does this have to do with anything” or sometimes she wouldn’t explain certain things enough so it just left me confused.
Now for the plot, I’m realizing that I’m more of a bada** FMC type of girl cause the FMC in this book pissed me off. She was so annoying and immature and naive. I didn’t feel the love connection between the two and felt like everything was done sloppily and out in the open for a mafia book. Also wth was that little bit of pro cop propaganda in a mafia book as well. That was hella confusing and gross. Also the lackluster reveal and aftermath of everyone finding out they were ✨together✨ was disappointing as well. The reason I read forbidden romance (this one is brothers best friend) is because I know drama is gonna pop off once everyone finds out but that didn’t happen here
This book had everything I usually like in a book but it was not something I enjoyed unfortunately. Very forgettable and underwhelming.
