Say You Mean It by Megan Reinking
2.0
I really wanted to love this, I adore the cover (it’s gorgeous) BUT i felt like for a shorter book, it felt like a 800 page book.
I felt the overall arc of the book was just rather sad. I felt depressed by the end - there was a HEA but i still felt really depressed about the entire thing. Very little happened. It took almost 80% of the book for Graham and Blair to really even romantically admit to the reader or each other. i like a slow burn but there has to be angst and tension built and there was nothing.
This is also another romance novel that feels more women’s fiction and self realization with the tiniest sprinkle of romance. Even with that growth in Blair i felt her character was really really surface level. I didn’t relate to her - as someone with depression and anxiety you would think i would but it was a struggle.
It will definitely be a book i will not remember after my next read.
