I really liked the little nuances of the meet-cute between the couple in this book. The backstory with the ex-boyfriend was a bit of a slog, like pulling teeth, but once that was out of the way and the real story took off, I was invested!
My favorite part of the story was the friendship between the FMC and the grumpy older writer—it almost felt more central than the romance itself.
The miscommunication was primarily the FMC avoiding adult responsibilities. The self-sabotage was evident throughout the entire story.
I can’t get over how long some of these paragraphs were. Then, in Chapter 24, the author set up a strange situation that ended abruptly, mid-conversation, creating an unnecessary miscommunication. The pacing and plotting could have used a bit more finesse.
Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
