The Little Bookshop at Herring Cove by Kellie Hailes
3.0
I had to DNF this at 56%. But, it's not a bad read at all, truly. I had to DNF this because i just wasn't feeling the book.
I started this expecting some intense conflict. However, we're barely a few chapters in before the main character was already melting for the love interest and showed no genuine signs of self conflict. And the characters were just so happy all the time!
I need the drama. I need the impression she was miserable and her life was going to the sh*ts and that she did all she could to resist the charms of Alexander and if she didn't, she will lose out on life.
I personally felt that the book didn't manage to procure that tension and i had to drop it and move on.
So, yes. I DNFed a Romance book because there wasn't piping hot tea spilled and it was happy.
3.2 stars
