Next Best Fling by Who Cares

This was another book that I really regretted requesting. The cover is so cute and it absolutely fooled me into thinking that it would be some cute romantic fling, when it was really just four narcissistic people all seem to hate each other, and none of them wanted to be together, really.

I guess I should’ve known that you can’t romanticize a story about two separate people who wanna break a couple’s engagement/wedding, and that fault is my own. However, The fact that this is poorly written, has terrible characters, and should have never existed as the book is not on me. The couple that get together for the fake dating whose names I’ve already forgotten have no chemistry, even after they start to “fall in love.” This author even managed to Make being a librarian sound like the most boring thing in the world, which is a true testament to this book is that my life revolves around books.

I could go on and on about how much I hated this book, but I have already wasted enough of my time on this title and I refuse to waste any more of it. I will mention one more thing though. There is a lot of unnecessary drinking in this book, To the point where it’s bordering on binging and alcoholism. I do not have a personal problem with alcohol, But I do have friends and family who have struggled. What is supposed to be romance and identifying that was not a good time. For someone who is actively struggling, that’s not the best thing to run into a book without a warning. It would be one thing if it was contributing to the plot, but it’s not. There is no plot, only garbage.

I’m not taking the time to share the cover for this one either. Don’t read it.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi.

Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness.

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS? Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...
