Blame It on the Brontes by Annie Sereno
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review! This adorable book is set to come out the beginning of May!
I would have to rate this 3 stars. I was very conflicted when it came to how I wanted to rate this book. I loved all the references to the Brontes throughout the book and gave me a feeling of "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell and "The Bookish Life of Nina Hill" by Abbi Waxman.
I wouldn't classify this as a rom-com per say; there was some romance but very sparsely sprinkled throughout the book. There wasn't much plot other than the attempt at "enemies to lovers" trope. I struggled trying to like Thena and Thorne but since there wasn't much development, I couldn't get attached. The writing tends to get repetitive and it felt the author was trying too hard to add humor.
Overall, this was a cute fluff story and would be perfect for a beach read. Plus, the author's writing was easy to follow adding on extra fluff. Sereno will be an author on my radar for sure.
