**I received this copy from Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ in a giveaway**
While many of my complaints about the romance genre is that it follows the tropes and leaves little to be wanted, I found that I greatly enjoyed Jilted. Despite knowing what was going to happen, it was written to well and Wilder and Sloane were so adorable I couldn’t put it down. Yes, on all the corny lines I mentally groaned but it still sparked joy in my heart to read it, it was so organic to the characters.
Speaking of characters, it’s exciting to see their development. To watch as others process their griefs, and grow is magical but add in the shared growth and a budding a romance, this is a chef’s kiss! The book does a great job of showing that the past doesn’t define what our future happiness has to be and that events that help shape us do not define us.
I appreciate the inclusiveness of Sloane and her condition, it is mentioned but never brought up in a way that feels forced or added on for the sake of trying to fit it in. While I do not have diabetes, a few of my friends do and I believe that inclusiveness helps acceptance and understanding. It was very organic in it’s inclusion and added to the story beautifully, making the world more alive.
A wonderful summer read for those that are inspired by weddings and enjoy characters who grow through the story.
