A review by mcstressy
Sorry, Bro by Taleen Voskuni
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
This book really suffered being from Nar's point of view because her head was an unpleasant place to be in. She was not a character that felt relatable or loveable. And that made it especially hard because Erebuni was so *cool* and I just could not understand their chemistry. Why would she like Nar? What connection did they have?
The scene with the coffee was honestly really good, but it was like 40-50% through the book so it was the sole reason for me not DNF-ing. It was a really sensual and enticing scene that if it had been in another book would have felt at home. But after the scene everything went back to the way it was before.
I also don't normally say this but the side characters were not necessary. There were so many suitors and side friends and I just got so confused.
I also...don't think some of the more serious topics were handled very tactfully. I think it had some really important things it wanted to say that could have been really enhanced through a couple more edits.
A bit disappointed in this one tbh. Like the bisexual MCs but...yeah.
The cover is stunning tho. 10/10
