Overall, this was a disappointing read. Historically, I’ve enjoyed Julia London. She’s written one of my all-time favorite romances. But I would’ve DNF’d this if it wasn’t a review copy. Around 70% in, it got better-like 3 star territory, but I can’t change my rating just for that.
My main issue was that it felt very disjointed. Especially when Eliza, Hollis, and Caro talked I would get confused. And I didn’t particularly care about any of the characters. The romance was also lacking. It was like nothing…nothing…and then BAM! It also was a little unrealistic in the resolution.
I actually liked Eliza’s dad. He was interesting and adorable with his kitting projects. But I’m not particularly invested in the other characters. There was some clunky sequel bait and i don’t know if I want to read their stories. I’ll wait and see what others say about them when they release.
Thanks for reading!
