The Fine Print by Lauren Asher

3.0

This book by Lauren Asher was my first venture into the world of "new adult" novels, and I must say, it was a pretty good introduction. While the book had its flaws, I found it to be an enjoyable read overall.

One aspect that stood out to me was the likability of the story as well as its characters. Albeit, Zahra might have gotten on my nerves one too many times because she's too sunshine-y in a way that feels humanly impossible. Despite the occasional cringy and cheesy lines, I found myself genuinely liking the book. The plot was engaging, and the characters had a pretty good sense of humour, which kept me invested in their journey.

However, one of the main issues I had with the book was the pacing of the romantic development between the two main characters, Zahra and Rowan. It felt frustratingly long for Zahra to notice or realize Rowan's feelings for her. And vice versa. This aspect of the story could have been handled more effectively, as it created some moments of impatience and detracted from the overall enjoyment.

Nevertheless, "The Fine Print" remained a readable and enjoyable novel with an engaging writing style that left me impressed.
