Falling for Scotland by Kaitlin Collins
2.5
2.5⭐
Sweet 🧁, not spicy- this is a 🫧 squeaky clean🧼 romance.
It is a cute, cozy romance. We've got a teacher from Missouri who's
sick and tired of the American education system and takes a job teaching in Scotland. We've got a hot Scottish editor who takes care of his grandpa and dances in a kilt for extra money. They're pretty immediately smitten. The FMC is asexual which is awesome for representation, but I wasn't a huge fan of her waiting to disclose that to her partner until 85% through. Just from a healthy relationship communication aspect, that bothered me a bit.
It's a debut and reads very much like a debut with phrases like, "We quietly sipped our tea in silence."
It was cute, but doesn't feel memorable or like one I'd go back to again.

Felt much longer than it was. I honestly struggled through some parts, it just didn't hold my attention. I didn't connect with the characters or find them entirely likable.
If I had to read the words "unprotected sex" one more time, I was going to throw my Kindle. We get it, they weren't scared of a pregnancy even with all the mess going on around them.

Fired by my Grumpy Dragon Boss by Ami Wright

I need to stop reading books from Facebook ads. Honestly, at this point it feels like is my almost my own fault. Fool me once, shame on you- fool me twice, wtf is wrong with me?
I also need to learn to just DNF because life is too short to hate what you're reading
Anyways-
I'm someone who reads at least one book a day. This book took me about a week to force myself through. I couldn't stop putting it down.
Both of the main characters are just insufferable. There was never a moment that I rooted for their romance. The plot is the La Croix of plots. It's sorta there, but it's mostly just overshadowed by how obnoxious both Mac's are.
If you're into disjointed plots, unlikeable characters and dudes with two 🍆s, this might be for you!

The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry
3.0
Would have been 4 ⭐ if I hadn't had to hunt down the epilogue myself.
I hope that she's gotten a different editor. I can't believe it was recommended that she cut the entire epilogue.
If you want to hear it, it's on the author's IG in a post made 5/29/2021. You have to listen to her babble for a while and then you get the ending.
Now to the review-
It was a well written thriller. It built and maintained tension well. The story itself was pretty predicable but still enjoyable.
