I've read an really enjoyed other books by this author but wasn't a big fan of this one.

Nolan is the big burly hockey player, who loves to cook and is opening a restaurant in his hometown while Mia is an aspiring chef. I will say the book description only applied to roughly the first 10/15% of the book. Most of it was set over the course of approx a year.

My biggest issue with this book was the miscommunication. There wasn't just one misunderstanding, there were constant moments of miscommunication or lack of communication that I felt made the story drag and meant we couldn't see the main characters together and root for them as a couple because when the reader is exposed to them as a couple they're either arguing or avoiding their feelings.

I also feel that as a reader I to discover things about the characters and plot, to watch aspects of personalities unfold or things aluded to so I can join the dots before a reveal later in the book but this book more "tell" than "show". I was constantly told how someone thought or felt and the exact reason why, rather than feeling it which made it hard for me to really connect with the characters.

3 stars.

Did I miss the memo that this was 2 something years later from the first book?

The details of how their relationship ended took FOREVER to come through and it was frustrating to sit through the main characters dynamic while wondering wtf happened.

And then when it all came to, it was so anticlimactic.

The writing itself was the reason I gave it 3 stars rather than 2 or 2.5.

I was looking forward to this one after the first book and now I’m unsure if I’ll read the next one.books-to-buy2 s Shelley2,544 50
