Friends to Lovers gepaart mit Slow burn. Ich bereue nur, dass dieses Buch sooooo lange auf meinem SuB gelegen hat. Ich hab schon lange nichts mehr gelesen, was mich derart in die Gefühlswelt der Protagonisten mitgerissen hat. Ich konnte es einfach nicht weg legen. Einziges Manko ist, dass die Gedankengänge von B. manchmal sehr verworren waren und man gelegentlich ein zweites Mal lesen musste, vor allem da ich es auf englisch gelesen habe.

This was a weird one for me… especially since I usually like the author. It felt very repetitive to me with way too much inner monologue that interrupted ongoing scenes. Firstly, the fact that the whole plot is based on miscommunication/no communication drove me up the walls! So immature and easily preventable it was annoying. Secondly, the dialogue often didn’t feel coherent to me and the characters regularly seemed to discover facts and thoughts that had already come up at earlier stages in the book, which just ruined realistic and solid character behavior for me. Honestly, at some points it felt like this book didn’t go through editing. Also… too many nicknames. And “kiddo” and “old man”?? Really? Ugh.
