I liked Alexis Hall's "Boyfriend Material" series, and I was hoping for something of a similar vibe. I wasn't expecting THAT similar for how it ended up becoming. The character development was static and it was annoying to me that this is a romance, but we didn't really actually feel the chemistry or rather, it didn't feel believable for the two main characters to have chemistry. I didn't like the love interest, I thought he was very depressing, and
there wasn't really a resolution to a "they make each other better" kind of a thing. I wanted that kind of dynamic, I guess and I didn't get it.
It was more of a slow read, if I'm honest. Lots of random stuff happened, but I feel like it could've been a much shorter book, and the climax was… Anticlimactic. Can't say I would recommend it.
