This Time Next Year
by Sophie Cousens
This took me forever to read. Mainly because it was a bit boring and nothing happened for a lot of it. Verrrrrry slow to build.
The premise was cute, I liked the chapters alternating between different New Year’s Eves, but it was just kind of a bland and predictable rom com. Woman child cutesy adorable clumsy girl meets hot rich man with commitment issues? I’ve read this a time or two. They both often got on my nerves. I liked their banter and found myself smiling at their conversations, but the chemistry wasn’t flying off the page for me. I wanted more spark and way more payoff in the end.
I did like the mental health themes in the book, dealing with Q’s mother, but overrall the parents were all awful to read about, leaving most of the side character to be just kind of there with no purpose. It’s like she took every rom com ever and threw characters in from You’ve Got Mail, and 27 dresses, and Bridget Jones, to hit all the marks.
Not my favorite.
