Ｂｏｏｋ Ｒｅｖｉｅｗ
I am so on the fence with this book. It unfortunately took me longer to finish than I expected it to. There were times when I was thoroughly confused as to what was happening but when I knew, this book was so cute! I feel like the audiobook would have been a better option for me.
I absolutely love the story itself. The cover is amazingly cute but I really feel like the writing itself needed some work. There was so much repetitiveness in the book, it definitely could have been shorter with more focus on the adorable story. I found the dialogs confusing at times because it was hidden within a paragraph. I really do think this book could have been less confusing to me if it was a dual POV. The banter and flirting were the best parts of this book - it had me laughing out loud.
Miscommunication is a tough trope to have in a book and it really had me banging my head in this one. Mabel is a fabulous FMC - strong, smart and secure in her own skin, however the constant questioning what was happening/going back and forth took away from her shine. Alfie, I loved him (I tend to love the grouchy bad boys)but I just really wish they both just talked about the important stuff…they didn't have a problem talking about the other stuff.
