I really enjoyed Link’s short stories. This book however did disappoint 😞
The other review “really want to enjoy the book but life is too short,” I get you lmao
Managed to slog through mostly (followed almost immediately by forgetting the plot) and had to skip to the end since that’s usually another strong point of any book (or should be, at least). Not sure about this one, truly. Some good points on bringing in some diverse voices into romance, a bit of critique on the romance genre, but other than those slivers of sunshine I can’t say it’s a strong work of fiction. And it’s uneditedly long.
