Christmas cheer
I really enjoying this 4th book as much as the other 3, this was lighthearted, cute, funny and as equally enthralling as the others. A beautiful love story and true friendship.

This is the second book I have read by this writer. I read it because the first one was so strange I thought maybe it was just one of those stories that just don't work. After all, most writers will publish something at some point that isn't their best work.
However, the writing in this book was even worse than the first. There is too much dialogue and absolutely no nuance. The characters just spout long paragraphs of words minus any indication of mood or context. There is little to no scene building nor are there character descriptions to at least form a picture of who they are.
What I found confusing and a bit disturbing was that the heroines in both books were initially quite unpleasant to or angry with the heroes but there is no clue as to why for far too long. In first person, we generally get insight to a narrators thoughts and motivations for their words and behaviours through internal dialogue. Not so, here. So I wound up feeling that the heroine was just a bitch and quite unhinged, as well.
And then the dialogue! Good grief. Just sentence upon sentence of pure nonsense. Is the character joking? Lying? Delusional? Is all the ridiculous conversation supposed to be funny? Because again, with no internal dialogue or occasional adjective to describe the mood in which the words are spoken, it's all just rubbish. Nonsense.
Don't waste the time or effort to unpack this story. A romcom shouldn't be so much work. Reading is supposed to be enjoyable. The unfolding of the plot and getting to know the characters should feel organic. This was just a lot of baffling silliness with no point. And then it just ended, mid scene, with no epilogue.
This writer needs to find another calling, or at the very least take an intensive course on how to write.
Glad I didn't waste money on this.

My least favourite Sugarloaf book so far, I found Rob's character very strange and his relationship with Grace just annoyed me 😂
