Beach Read by Emily Henry
1.75
emotional lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The last book I read was a very heavy topic (HIV/AIDS). So I was looking forward to something lighthearted and "dumb" (something requiring little thought). Well, I got what I wanted, but it was a little toooo dumb for me. 

Emily Henry is hit or miss for me, and this one was a big miss. The author admits she had writer's block at the time she wrote it and that she decided to write a book about writer's block. No wonder the book fizzled for me. That's like me sitting at work and deciding to write a report about why I don't know how to write the report.

Rounding up to 2 (yeah, that's how little I liked it - not even a full two stars).
