Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood
4.25
4.25 out of 5
Ali Hazelwood does it again. Tbh, quite surprised I’ve seen so many people not like it, but this book being for the #real yearners, it kind of makes sense.
Ngl... it's been almost 6 months since I read it and I just never got around to writing At the time I finished it I really loved it, but now looking back I cannot pinpoint exactly why I enjoyed it so much. I do want to point out that while Ali Hazelwood's other works have been primarily romcoms, this one falls more into the erotica romance category. I genuinely think this is the reason many people didn't enjoy it as much as her previous works.
Similar to her previous work in Love, Theoretically, this had a touch of portraying a realistic relationship between two consenting adults. I personally really like getting the POV from the main love interest because I love seeing the MC from their eyes and finding what they like about them, how they perceive them. It adds to making the relationship more well-rounded ans therfore more enjoyable. Also, seeing the main love interest be consumed by yearning? *chef's kiss*
I would be cautious in recommending this to just anyone since it definitely it is not everyone's cup of tea, however, if you prefer more mature books, in every sense, then this might be the one from Ali Hazelwood for you.
