(thank you to the publisher/netgalley for the e-arc) in this case, it didn't feel like tension built - the tension was behind the scenes if anything? i've looked at almond croissants with more yearning and angst than there was in this book.Ī lot of time was skipped also, sometimes a month passing in half a sentence, so it felt simultaneously hard to focus and like if i didn't focus everything would completely fall apart immediately.Īaaand the workplace element also felt like too much - by the end it wasn't clear how they could coexist and date and work and blah blah blah.Įxactly the kind of real world complications i read romance to forget about.īottom line: this had so much going for it! just not the things i needed. I am in a romance novel for the miscommunication. Primarily the pacing of this was off to me - it was like: a kiss at 25%, sex scene a bit after, exclusivity a bit after that, and an ily pretty soon? This isn't the first time that my least fav part of a romance novel has been, you know, the romance. Romance novels with a romance that doesn't click with you.
