jsilfen924 's review for:
Fool Me Once
by Ashley Winstead
3.5⭐️ I feel torn on this review because there were many parts about the story that I really loved and then things I just couldn't stand. I give Ashley Winstead so much credit for her versatility as a writer and overall found this book to be well-written, smart and easy to read.
What I loved: I loved the second-chance romance, humor the character development, the feminist nature of the book, the interesting take on politics, Stoner's self-discovery, and the stress on the importance of friendship.
What I did not like: I found Stoner's immaturity and self-deprecating behavior annoying and hard to get past. I thought the chapters transitioned too quickly from one scene to the next. For instance, a MAJOR event would happen at the end of a chapter, and then there was no closure when the next chapter began a few days later. I also found the first 25% a bit slow.
