Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

I’ve enjoyed some of the author’s other books, but couldn’t get into this one at all. Just didn’t connect with the characters or the relationship.

After a slow start, everything came together quite quickly. I enjoyed the characters. Not in my top books list, but still there was something sort of magical about it.
