I think my expectations were set unfairly high, I’ve been waiting to read this book since the day it came out and now I’m just slightly sad that it didn’t change my life.

How is this the worst book I’ve read this year so far?
It wasn’t supposed to be, I enjoyed book 2-5 quiet a bit but I think this ruined most of the series for me.
Why does it exist?

I went into this expecting nothing (which is always a good start, you can only go up from there mostly). Throughout the first half I was sure I would give this book 4 stars, just because I needed to give Timothy Janovsky some credit for stealing from my life and putting those scenes into his book. But, the second half felt predictable and boring mostly. (I wont spoil the end, obviously, but come one. I know its a RomCom, but they can at least be a little realistic).

Cute book though and a quick read which is always nice

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

I’m too lazy to commit to a book that doesn’t seem interesting to me. Maybe I’ll pick it up again in summer we’ll see
