Sweet Tea and Sympathy by Molly Harper
2.0
2.5-3 stars? I'm not always a big fan of romance, and didn't realize this was one when I decided to pick it up from my local library on a whim.
I was looking forward to something reminiscent of Sweet Home Alabama; I was really expecting the feels and was looking to a book to make me feel. Unfortunately, I never really connected to the story or the characters in that way.
I enjoyed a lot of the plot points and liked how a lot of them were wrapped up; some even surprised me and ended well. However, I never felt the chemistry between our main character Margot and the love interest, Kyle. I really never felt that spark and just felt like we just met this guy and then we are making out with him at a bar.
I loved the setting and the Southern small town tropes, which is why I think I enjoyed the first half of the book more since we are being introduced to the crazy locals and the funny customs. The second half is more about Margot and Kyle's sort-of relationship and some family issues.
After more research on the author, I would definitely try out some of her paranormal romances and give her other books a chance. Her writing is pretty easy to digest, and I'm hoping some other ones would get me to care a bit more.
