Waiting for Clark by Annabeth Albert
2.5

This was cute, but very simple. It’s a short and geeky second-chance romance that doesn’t have a lot of depth due to its length, but does have a sweet premise. 
For a novella I think this was executed pretty well, but I didn’t really feel a connection to the characters or the story. 

Bryce was honestly even a little annoying to me, and I got a bit sick of him being grumpy and evasive.
Clark was a rather bland character, but overall he was pretty okay. 
I do wish it would have been Bryce who was trying to convince Clark to give them another shot instead of the other way around, but oh well. 

I thought their friendship was well-established, but I wasn’t totally sold on the romance. Especially after there had been so many years where they did not see or speak to each other.
Their reunion was a little angsty, but not overly so, and they had a moderate amount of chemistry/tension between them. They were both pining pretty heavily for the other person, which should have been something I loved more, but somehow didn’t.

All in all, I think this whole thing was decent, but it was nothing great. I’m having neutral feelings towards it.
