While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory

2.0

Grabbed this one when it was on-sale at Target because the cover was fun & synopsis sounded cute. Powered through hoping it would get more enjoyable, but I really could not get into this book. The dialogue was so stiff and clumsy. Every interaction felt forced, limiting the characters depth and relatability. I don’t mind a predictable romance novel, but I didn’t feel like their love story naturally blossomed or that the plot line even flowed well.

Appreciated a MC male in therapy working on himself throughout the book, and the romantic scenes were steamy (but again, the timing of them occurring and feeling realistic?? Not there.) 1.5 stars since I did finish, and held out hope of it improving.
