It's Always Been You
by Elin Annalise
3.5 stars, but giving it 3 stars felt harsh.
This book was overall pretty good. I really enjoyed the portrayal of asexuality. I loved the two main characters and I loved their relationship, which I felt had a lot of nuance and was very fun to see unfolded. I liked how the book talked about serious issues like ace phobia, domestic violence or bullying.
That being said, I had a few problems with the book too. One of them is that didn’t like the prank stuff, it felt forced and not super interesting. I think there were better ways to create an excuse to get the characters close. I also have to admit that the ending felt pretty rushed: there were several interesting plot line (their relationship, Sophie’s ex and her step mom…) but the ending arrived quickly and I ended up feeling a bit disappointed by how quickly it came to an end. I wish we could remove the prank stuff and replace it by a bit more development for those plots.
But overall, I enjoyed the book. Not the best romance ever but still pretty enjoyable.
