*Read at work for review for ROYAL*
This was not the book for me, which is a little surprising, because I usually enjoy a fluffy contemporary with a “friends who are secretly in love with each other” trope. Add in the fact that they also secretly haven’t been friends for all that long, but are pretending to have known each other their whole lives and there’s even more layers to the trope. Unfortunately, if just didn’t work for me in this case.
The characters weren’t developed all that well and to me, they didn’t feel very real. The entire plot revolved around basic high school drama, and was extremely uninteresting. I felt like a lot of things were also over dramatized and just blown out of proportion. There was reference to real family drama going on in Chance’s life that was handled pretty well, and I did like that he got to fix his relationship with his brother, but other than that I felt the book was kind of lacking. The writing is decent, if a little dry, and the pacing is kind of odd.
The other thing I did like in all the drama was when Chance and his friend Drake got into a fight over Jenny in the library, and Jenny was so distraught she just started throwing dictionaries at the them to break up the fight. The image of dictionaries flying everywhere made me laugh pretty hard.
Overall, I went into this one thinking it would be a fun, fluffy story, and instead I had to force myself to finish it because it’s for a review group through work.
