Betting On You by Lynn Painter

3.5

I don't know if it's because I'm getting out of a reading slump, but I'm feeling kinda neutral about this book. I usually like the author's work, but this one felt unfinished and weirdly paced. I enjoyed the characters, their banter, and the fact that they bonded over being children of divorce— I can relate to that— but, at the same time, some scenes felt forced and out of place. I also hated that the author would just drop important information that should have been established from the beginning whenever it was convenient. I'm honestly a bit sad I didn't like the book more since it was clearly inspired by When Harry Met Sally, which is one of my favorite movies, but I just wasn't into it. I hope I'll like the sequel to Better Than the Movies better than this book.
