Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen
3.0
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
Belinda Missen is very much a name to check out :). The heroine was very well drawn, and, being myself from an artistic environment, I related a lot to her experiences... Here we had a character that was not only centering her story on romance, but on her friendships, work and family (her moments with her brother and stepmother come to mind as super cute). That being said... I had a liiiitle bit of an issue here... Only that there was so much about her romantic history with our guy (Kit) that I wanted to know more about... I feel like a fangirl desperate for an epilogue or deleted scenes... Kit seems like such a cute guy, (he reminded me a little of the hero from Wallbanger) and it felt like we spent more time with her ex boyfriend than him. I get it. Relationships are messy and life is messy and it is not always that straight to the point let's fall in love with the next guy. I liked the time that the author dedicated to heartbreak (the first 30% of the book she still hasn't talked a lot with Kit and is dealing with her stuff). But in the way that was approached, their relationship felt a little rushed in the sense that I was begging for something like please author I love your story give me moreee. Belinda Missen. You got a fan. Please send me deleted scenes of Kit cooking breakfast again. We had that kind of year :)
