The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy
3.0

giving this a 3/3.5! i really enjoyed the beginning, maybe like up to the first 40% of the book but then it all started to fall apart. i honestly didn’t have the highest expectations since i saw the mixed reviews here before starting it but i did enjoy some aspects of the book.

i thought charlie was an interesting character but didn’t love her like i loved other fmcs from elle kennedy. i think she is a very complex character who had a really hard time admitting and finding herself but idk it all felt a little rushed at the same time towards the middle end of the book. i honestly loved that she is adopted and was trying to find her birth parents but i honestly didn’t really like harrison and that whole aspect of the book. it just felt a little off and maybe could’ve been relayed differently.

i LOVED will - like hands downs my favorite character. there was just something about him that made him so likable. but i do wish he had more of a presence in the book. like there was not as much time with just him and charlie like there were of charlie and beckett :/ but in the parts that will was there… immaculate

i loved beckett as well but i just felt it there was something missing and his story kind of fell short. i definitely felt for him but felt like there could’ve been more to him and more for him in the book… idk i have mixed feelings.

all in all, i did like some parts of the book but this didn’t compare to the other stories in this universe!
