The First Time We Met by Jo Lovett
1.0
Did Not Finish--40 percent.
Once again, an interesting concept (meeting and falling in love at first sight when it's the other person's wedding day) that just failed. I refuse to finish this because the book is just endless and I don't care what happens with Izzy and Sam. The book jumping forward by years and then they keep meeting each other just didn't work for me. Then again, I am the same person who loathed "One Day".
Izzy meets Sam the morning of his wedding day. She falls head over hills after a disastrous day working at a café and serving Sam. She still thinks of him a year later when she sees him but finally decides to move on with a man she meets named Dominic. From there the book jumps forward at different parts of time when they are both either in or out of relationships or going through major upheaveals.
The biggest reason that I have to say that I DNFed this one was that it's boring. And we don't get to spend enough time with either character for me to care about them or if they get together in the end. I think that Lovett should have had more to the meet cute too because I wasn't feeling it at all by the way. If you can't get a reader that sense of chemistry and why would I be invested in this upfront, you are going to lose them.
