Charlie, Love and Clichés

BookClub: Cat & Dan *
Month: February, 2024
* BookClub Cat & Dan is just a "book club" where me and Cátia pick up a book from the 24 previously selected each month and have to "force" ourselves to read a book.
My 2 stars are NOT a bad rating.
Synopsis:
The story begins with Charlie facing the stranger she crushed on six years earlier when she shows up for work and greets her father’s new partner. William Carter has had a whole different life before his divorce lowkey forced him to change airs and turn a new leaf in New York.
Charlie is the middle of changing her life, making lists of what she wants and needs to do to start to regain control of her life again. William didn’t expect to find Charlie, the person he has been secretly longing and missing for the years, and things shift when he realises she might not have forgotten him as he thought she did.
Review:
Normally I wouldn’t do a review for this book because, as I explained Cat when we were discussing the book, it was good in some aspects but mediocre in others.
Being the author’s latest book � and not a debut or a first book � it’s weird. I’ve read books from her before, mainly To Love Jason Thorn and To Hate Adam Connor and those felt more developed, better written and overall better cohesive than this one.
This is not to say this is bad.
There’s a lot of aspects that I really liked, particularly their relationship when they start giving into their feelings and then start dating. But, man, when it matters most� their communication skills failed tremendously and the third act break-up was ridiculous� Short, thankfully, but ridiculous.
The final chapter was unsatisifying. You telling me that she’ll go through all of it, they’ll go through all of that (view spoiler)
Not sure if this will become a series or a linked series or be left as a standalone but I feel like this could’ve went through editing a bit more before being approved for publishing.
It's not bad but it certainly could've been better.

"the best thing of this book is how fast you can read it
not sure if i'm digging the whole "she's super honest" and awkwardness she brought - authors often make it seem like it's cute but it's actually just stupid
we'll see how it goes"
