The Off Limits Rule: It Happened in Nashville

A very cute story, loved that the main character was a mom in her end 20ties. And men written by women are supreme anyway

I didn't vibe with this, I'm sorry. I feel like I didn't love the writing, the characters were kind of childish. The writing didn't make a lot of sense, it felt very clicheto me. The main character is the single mother of a child of four. She had him after a one night stand when she was like 20. And we don't really actually see her interact with her child that much. She's, as I said, childish. And she is the kind of characters that hate other women. A typical pick-me. Every time the main male character came in contact with a woman, she would have something negative to say about this woman. Basically, a lot of internalized misogyny, which I hate and I have such a hard time with characters like this. The main male character was fine. Although he was also childish in a way. It felt like they weer 2 teenagers in 30 yearolds bodies. I guess the main ploy point is that they like each other, but out of respect, for her brother, the guy doesn't want to get with her. He wants the brother's blessing. My issue with this is, he's been friends with Drew for like a year. And that's it. So are you really going to lose the woman that you're in love with for her brother that you've been friends with for a yearand he says himself in the book that Drew doesn't know the real him? It felt so unnecessary. There were a few cute scenes and like the writing isn't aweful itself. But likethere's this whole thing about her wanting to do more dangerous things and him like taking her to like skinny dip in a pool and it turns out to be his pool. So it wasn't actually dangerous, but she thought it, there was no payoff. Like, I suppose I think that it's a bit immature and like her child spends the whole book with her parents. She does not interact with her child a lot. And that bothers me because I do like single parent books. I just want the child to be present. And the last, like the last point of conflict is literally her child going to the hospital which is so overdone. Yeah, I just didn't like the book I didn't like the characters. I didn't like the plot. I felt mislead cause her having a child isn't mentioned in the summary. 2 stars

I LOVED IT AHHH I was so happy that it didn’t have the famous miscommunication trope
