The True Love Experiment
by Christina Lauren
3.5 ⭐️ rounded up to 4. I really liked this and tbh if I didn’t get the B&N version with the bonus chapter I probably would have only given this 3 ⭐️. If the regular version ends with only the epilogue pls go read the bonus chapter at B&N asap.
So this was great, I always enjoy Christina Lauren romance books, however this fell a little flat for me. This reminded me a lot of The Charm Offensive, but it just didn’t give me the same feelings. I didn’t feel as invested or any of those fun tingly feelings I usually get from a well done romance full of chemistry and tension.
Some parts were amazing, but too many just felt meh to me. I wanted more of the reality show antics, but it was mostly just short moments of the reality show and this was primarily about the budding relationship and forbidden love between Fizzy and her producer, Connor.
My feelings aren’t fair since I preferred The Charm Offensive and expected the same kind of laugh out loud “The Bachelor” type moments, but it just wasn’t that funny to me. Fizzy was over the top and obnoxious, and Connor was just your run of the mill hot British dad. The forbidden love was mostly fun, but I predicted the ending from a mile away.
This just didn’t give me the fuzzy feelings I was hoping for, and it was very predictable, but I did enjoy this one and I do not regret reading it. It just isn’t a fave for me.
