Picked these two so fast I didn‘t even look at the others! #BOTM
This book surprised me in the best way, broke my heart, and then stitched it back up again in ways I was NOT expecting. The story between Brick and Aspen is hilarious, heartbreaking, fun, and just feels amazingly good. I wasn't expecting their story to rip my heart to shreds in the ways that it did, but that made the entire experience that much better, which is kinda crazy to say as a person who feels things SO DEEPLY.
“Aspen Giggled and Gave Dug all the affection he dreamed of.“
I want a Dug, he sounds so adorable
I love how this is starting and how cozy it seems without it being a full out cozy book.
My BOTM reading challenge reward came yesterday! I love it and cant wait to wear it!
Throughout this fake dating romance, Aspen notes that the novels that followed her breakout debut lacked emotional depth. They were more skilled, better written, but heartless. That‘s how this book feels - devoid of authentic emotion. From a technical standpoint, it meets the genre conventions, but there‘s some truly terrible dialog, whole paragraphs that made me cringe, and don‘t even get me started on the completely ridiculous character names.
