I have a lot of problems with this book, but I will say that it was a quick read since the writing style is pretty easy on the brain, so it's a good time passer book. There were also some parts of the story that were nice. Also Elliot looks like S4 Eren Yeager on the cover, which is the reason I picked up this up in the first place.
But okay:
- I didn't like either of the characters. Ama annoyed the hell out of me and she definitely needs therapy. She wanted everything out of a relationship but didn't wanna commit to the label. I also feel like I know nothing about her except that she's a wedding planner, has very bad commitment issues and eats an obscene amount of donuts.
- Elliot grew on me a little towards the end but he was so grumpy and rude for no reason. Only thing I really liked about him was his tattoos if I'm being honest.
- Ama and Elliot also had no emotional chemistry. Their whole relationship was built on lust and the fact they banged a few times. Because of that I couldn't even invest in them as a pair.
- The dual POV was interesting, and also the past and present shifts. In the present though the couple barely interacts which goes back to me not feeling invested in their relationship.
This book also focused too much on the wedding planning aspect. That's fine and good except for the fact that this was supposed to be a second chance (?) romance. But how could their be second chances for a relationship that had very little foundation in the first place???
