when i say that i cannot believe “he's a minor deity from the norse pantheon” is an actual quote...
stuck with you was just miscommunication at its utter finest. demonstrating how the story practically wouldn't exist if the characters knew how to talk and hear each other out. once again with this second story, already within the like first two chapters it's the mc describing how massive the love interest is physically exactly like the first one novella:
“his sequoia wide biceps...corporate thor...he's as towering as a greenlandic mountain range...have to go rock climbing to reach him.”
also add on the amount of emphasis on scandinavian viking and how blue his eyes his eyes are. the author has a particular format of talkative mc with broody quiet love interest, insta-love quickly turned somehow into enemies to lovers, going on and on about how the love interest externally looks and compares in size to main.
though e2l is attempted to be incorporated, this installment was more like communication gone completely wrong, sadie goes through so many instant assumptions in her mind it was just so frustrating especially having to listen to it. the story was honestly overall bland and boring how quickly they connected and sadie falling headfirst putting faith in a guy she met within less than 24 hours. the arrangement of the plot switching up timelines every chapter, which i understand is to keep readers on edge to wait to find out what went wrong but it just didn't work for me. the story had potential in going a different route if sadie had better communication skills but mostly was open minded to hearing what erik had to say, not completely ghost him and weave up a whole different story in her head.

though i said enemies to lovers, this installment was more like communication gone completely wrong, sadie goes through so many instant assumptions in her mind it was just so frustrating especially having to listen to it. the story was just overall bland and boring how quickly they connected and sadie falling headfirst putting faith in a guy she met within less than 24 hours. the arrangement of the plot switching up timelines every chapter, which i understand is to keep readers on edge to wait to find out what went wrong but it just didn't work for me. practically the story in its entirety wouldn't exist if not for sadie's terrible communication skills and just heard out what erik had to say. not completely ghost him and weave up a whole different story in her head.
side note, not the star wars prequel slander thrown in sadie's internal monologue just randomly. guess it just throws me off when books make media reference opinions like its twitter or something out of blue.😭😭😭
