1.0
Currently reading Chapter 32 ... However I don't think I have the willpower to finish this one ... I've never struggled with a romance book this much - especially when it's been highly recommended all over the internet ...
I personally found this book boring af ... There's no substance... Emily Henry tried so hard not to follow the tropes that it made the characters so uninteresting... I would always prefer good-old romance tropes over this ...
It focused more on the sister dynamic between Nora and Libby which was ruined by them calling each other 'sissy' ... The romance between Nora and Charlie seemed more like a sub-plot ... They never had any chemistry or tension nor did they seem like rivals in the beginning ... The romance was bland and all the hopes were ruined by the repetitive graphic descriptions of their love-making ...
The character of Nora had so much potential but was not handled properly... Most importantly I could not relate with any of it ... I would've preferred the story with a young mother aspiring to be an actress - alone in NYC with her two daughters...
