The Locker Room by Meghan Quinn

1.0

Do not waste your time with this book. I am so mad right now. This book started out as a 3 or 4 star read for me that it absolutely blew up after the 85% mark.

Spoiler

The whole first half of the book the main characters were together, building a relationship and building trust. Then at 85% the FMC broke up with the MMC for a dumb reason, strung him along, and then they stayed broken up for a time lapse of 8 YEARS. Then the 9% of the book covers the span of a 12 hour period where they run into each other again, hook up for the first time, and decide that they want to be together forever. It was like the author decided to make it a second chance romance, but the problem is that in order for a second chance romance to work, it needs time for the characters to explore and heal from the reasons it didn’t work out the first time. This one did not do that at all. Not to mention the book is called “The Locker Room” and it spent the whole time building up to the MMC taking the FMC to the locker room because, according to lore, that means that they will be together forever AND THEN DOESN’T EVEN GET TO IT UNTIL THE EPILOUGE. WHEN THE CHARACTERS ALREADY HAVE COMMITED AND HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER.

Excuse the rant, I think I am just doubly upset because this book was supposed to be my (much needed) Friday night fun read and it did not serve what was advertised.
