Sorry I Missed You
by Lorraine Brown
this book showed me that it's okay to mark things as read even if ya didn't finish it all.
I kid you not, im at the 75% mark and the two love interests have no chemistry at all. They say a friendly hello until the mid way point and that is it. Reading it I'm cringing at the way the author keeps pushing these completely out of the blue fascinations with each other.
Rebecca instantly comments on how Jack's hair is too shabby, he wears clothes which aren't flattering, he probably is a bum who shags women as much as he feels like, but then, suddenly, she's having thoughts about his eyes and how they sparkle. Bitch please, you legit cannot stop assuming things of each other for the worst.
Their first date (if you can even call it that since it's Jack taking Rebecca to see his EX GIRLFRIEND perform) begins with Jack thinking that she's pretty but in such a way i just cringe. it's such a 180 which you wouldn't think so considering how long it gets for them to even interact for longer than a minute.
The most interesting part of this book are the two separate stories of the protagonists. If these were two separate books of Jack dealing with dreams being crushed and Rebecca with family trauma, it would have been fine, perhaps even good because I found that to be well written.
The last thing you want with a romance novel is for me to be rolling my eyes whenever the main two characters are together because of just how forced it feels!
If there's anything to take away from this book is that the author has a much stronger and firmer grip of how to write individual characters, not characters together. it felt like almost every interaction between any two characters were forgettable at best, which is a shame.
I wanted to love it but I cant bring myself to read on anymore. In the modern book scene where everything is covered in smut ratings and YA novels are now just soft-core porn sometimes, a longer drawn out love story was just what I wanted! Unfortunately, this did not deliver on that promise for me
