Conventionally Yours (True Colors, #1)

If I had to describe this book with one word, it would be "nice".
Both Conrad and Alden are likable characters. I liked that I could really feel how much they disliked each other in the beginning, unlike some other books where the main characters are "enemies" only on paper. It felt believable here, but it was never too much.
I also enjoyed how naturally and gradually their relationship developed from acceptance to friends to something more and how it helped them with the issues they were dealing with.
Some things that happen throughout the story are too convenient and my investment in the story fizzled out a bit in the last few chapters, but overall it was an enjoyable read.
The audiobook was ok. I enjoyed Kirt Graves's narration, even though he made the characters sound older, but I struggled with Joel Froomkin's narration in this one.

I guess I'll save this one for when I'm in the mood for "nice" 😅 It sounds like it could have been better. Great review, Snjez 😘

This is my weekend listen. I picked it to be something calmer/nice so I’m happy to see your review. 🥰

Geeez! One flat read after the other. 🙄🙄You must be missing a 5 stars read, Snjez. 😭😭
Commiserations.
Hope the wind blow in your favour next since my prayers didn't work. 😂
Lovely review, Snjez, although doesn't sound very exciting! Keeping fingers crossed your next one is better than 3 stars! 😘🤗

Thanks, Jan! 💕 The was this is going, I don't predict many 5-star-reads in my near future. 😂 But it's fine. If I get too frustrated, I can always pick up one of my favourites. 😉

Keeping fingers crossed your next one is better than 3 stars! 😘🤗"Well, it's mostly the two of them on a road trip, playing a few games here and there and contemplating life. So, yes, not much going on. 😅 But I enjoyed their conversations and getting to know them better as they got closer. 🙂
Thanks, Ariana! 😘
Is that like when your crush describes you as nice? 😂 awesome review, I think I’ll pass on that for now.
I use to love this author. Now I just find every book...meh? Uneventful? Something like that.

I wasn't too impressed by the first one I read by her, and there's also one I've tried reading but couldn't get into it. 😬 But yes, you could say this one was a bit uneventful. Everything's right in the story, but it was nothing new.
My favorite of hers is Baked Fresh, but I agree, I find most of her books nice but nothing more. Good thing there are enough authors for everyone's tastes out there!

Fantastic review, Snjez! Sorry it wasn't better for you though! 🧡
