I Really Do by Emily K. Hardy

  • Loveable characters? Yes

3.75

Some things about it that bothered me: 
- Repetitive, both in verbiage and internal monologues.
- Due to it being independently published, there are spelling and grammatical errors; though not enough to really take away from the book. Plus, I enjoy red penning my way through books like this. Don’t judge me. 


Some things about it that I loved: 
- Usually I hate faking dating tropes, but this was a delicious slow burn that is completely worth it. 
- There’s a miscommunication towards the end that I personally found unnecessary, but I was so invested in the characters that I literally yelled “what the FUCK” and it was resolved quickly. 
- Solid plot where you actually like the characters, even the side ones.  
- That 🌶️ scene (chapter, really) fucking ate and kept me fed 👀
