panFor a book I almost preordered, this was terrible. It started strong with Benson‘s life and his unexpected, interesting cohabitation with his bf Mike‘s mom, who just arrived from Japan. Then it switched to 175 pgs (150 pgs too long) of Mike spending time with his estranged, dying father in Japan. All the dialogue was unrealistic & snappy in a non-witty way. Then Mike came back from Japan...and no spoilers, but I was thankful for it to end. 1.5⭐️
Megabooks I found the bear my college bf gave me while cleaning out my closet. This is my #doublespin, @TheAromaofBooks 💜 4y
Deblovestoread Hmmmm, I think it will be awhile or maybe never that I read this book. Luckily it was my free pick for rejoining BOTM. Thanks for the heads up! 4y
Traci1 Bummer. I had high hopes for this one but have only been hearing bad things. ☹ 4y

Reynosa8701 I don‘t remember what I chose this month for #botm I hope it‘s not this book lol 4y
Thousand-Lives I feel validated after reading your review! It did start strong, and it was pretty terrible. 4y
Megabooks @Kdgordon88 I really hate to pan a book and turn people off, but this was bad. 4y
Megabooks @Traci1 I loved his debut, so I was disappointed that he seems to have a sophomore slump. 4y
Megabooks @Reynosa8701 lol me too!! 4y
Megabooks @Thousand-Lives yes!! That whole section with Mike was painful for me to read. 4y
Thousand-Lives @Megabooks Completely agree! I even had to skim a bit just to make it through! 😬 4y
Cinfhen Eeekkkk!! Should I not squeeze this into my already overweight baggage???? 4y
TheAromaofBooks haha I just read a meh review by @Thousand-Lives and then you were my next notification... apparently I do NOT need to pick this one up! 😂 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen no you should not. 4y
Megabooks @TheAromaofBooks I really don‘t think so, and I‘m a fan of this author! 4y
Cinfhen Out it goes...and now I‘ll put another book instead #GoodAdvice 🙌🏻‼️😘 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen have a safe trip dear friend! 4y
Reviewsbylola Nooooooo. I picked this as my #botm. I‘m hearing the author speak in January so I‘m not reading it until right before. Level with me, is there a chance I‘ll like it?! 😂 4y
Megabooks @Reviewsbylola probably about the same chance at Harry and Meghan going back to their Royal duties. Possible, but unlikely. Sorry ☹️ 4y
Reviewsbylola 🤣🤣🤣🤣 well at least I‘m prepared. 4y
Prairiegirl_reading I just finished today. Kind of an impulse buy after Ann Patchett raved about it on IG. This was may take away, “blah blah blah, I said. Blah blah blah, he said. And then we fucked.” And then I returned it to Libro.fm. I have returned very few books. HOW IS THIS A “ROM-COM”???? 4y
Prairiegirl_reading I should have done a little homework first. 4y
Megabooks @Prairiegirl_reading definitely not a rom-com. Idk whose bad idea it was to give it that label! 4y
