A review by alikarani
Bed and Breakup by Susie Dumond
3.0
Susie Dumond’s Bed and Breakup was a book I was offered via a widget. As such, I didn’t seek it out and honestly, probably would not have under other circumstances. While the book was a relatively easy read and the world (and setting) building was quite good, the plot and the characters fell very flat. At first, Robin and Molly seem like decent characters— their pranks definitely gave them some personality. However, as I reached the last few chapters, I realized that Dumond had done little to establish their traits outside of their interactions with one another and the ensuing internal battles they grappled with on their journey to restore not only their inn, but their relationship too. Like other reviews I read in the midst of my reading, all of the elements were present for a great novel. However, something in the writing style led me to view them through a superficial lens and quickly recognize their lack of romantic chemistry. Thus, the protagonists became a bit insufferable throughout the rest of the novel, as their connection seemed unlikely and unrealistic.
