Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
in what world do you meet a person three times for brief moments and you are already telling them you would’ve cheated on your now ex fiancé if they did get married? its not romantic it’s aweful. i am someone who believes there are multiple ppl in this world that could work for you(hell in one city really) and there is no such thing as true love. it’s a no for me.

also i’ve seen ppl get mad at others for not liking this and saying that rue is neuro divergent therefore ppl are being ableist. as nd person myself respectfully no. this is insta lust quickly turning quickly into insta love(just found out it’s erotica still doesn’t change my opinion it’s bad). not to mention each pov is just lust filled and this pull they feel for each. when they are with their friends or family it gives the author throwing things at us just to say she did. even the kline stuff is just there for tension.

the last two things is why the hell is eli’s pov third person and rues first?????? it takes me out of the story immediately. and the narrator for rue is not good like at all. i don’t know why her performance didn’t work for me this time when kulti(horrible book) and the love hypothesis did but it is what is.
