Bookish People by Susan Coll
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

Thanks for the ARC for an honest review.
Unfortunately I DNFd after 20%.
From the cover and blurb I got the impression this was going to be funny. Personally, I wasn't getting that at all. In fact the two characters we are following both seem very depressed.
At 20% I like a book to already have hooked me, but I wasn't hooked by this one. Yes, there is potentially a controversial poet coming for an event at the bookstore. Unfortunately I didn't care enough about this to see it through.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC for an honest review.
Some of the steamiest non-sex scenes I've ever read! I love that this book can be this sexy without being overly graphic. This couple's awkwardness is so cute.
The plot was a bit on the light side which made it drag a bit in the little. Also has the miscommunication trope which personally isn't my favorite.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review. I DNFd this book approximately 15% in.
First, this book is number 4 in a series. I don't think this is a series that you can pick up anywhere. I was very confused and lost.
But secondly, I don't think this writing style is for me. I had a hard time following the train of thought. It was told in first person but she would refer to multiple timelines (I met him last week.. he wrote to me 11 months after we first met). I was also confused if this was supposed to be lighthearted or dark. It just wasn't for me.
