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.
