Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.0
I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I found myself skimming a lot of the chapter descriptions. There was a lot of detail regarding buildings and food that I did not really care for. I thought the romance between Theo and Ellie had a ton of potential but other than sexual attraction, I did not feel like the two connected all that much. I would have loved to see more of the two building that connection, but most of the book felt more plot-focused than character driven.
Ellie was a hard character to connect with as well. She spent so much time focused on her and Theo’s differences when they had so much in common.
Read if you like:
• fake dating
• small town family businesses
