this one was kind of a disappointment for me. i still loved the characters and i enjoyed seeing them together for the whole book this time, but i DESPISE the “i don’t wanna get married” trope (it’s in a surprising number of books !!!). it’s not that im opposed to that POV, cause i might even feel the same, but writing a whole book planning the wedding only to end with the last chapter having both characters bail on their wedding … incredibly unsatisfying and frustrating. especially since their reasons for not wanting to be married didn’t make any fucking sense to me. like goddamn it is just a piece of paper and a party that you ALREADY PAID FOR.
so i can’t say much about the plot cause it was basically building up to that unsatisfying conclusion the whole time. and even though i love the characters and the writing, i tire of the excessive banter, too. every conversation doesn’t have to be a game of words and wit.. it gets exhausting to read.
oh well, i still like Alexis Hall and i’m about to read 4 more books in a row from them so i hope they are better !
