It was telegraphed from a mile away. The tension isn't there. We already know that Finn ain't it, and never had a chance in hell, from the aside from the damn author in the beginning of the book.
This is so predictably tropecentric, Center. Hopefully you realize it could be so much better if you laid off a bit. Too much of a good thing. Read more Eloisa James. She does tension well.

It's not miniskirt shorts it's skorts. the word is skorts. skirt-shorts. Skorts. The dialogue got even worse. It's hovering at a 3-star, so far. It better get less corny soon.

'kay....the dialogue is dopey. Too dopey. I believe I've already figured out the supposed twist: Coops kissed her not the dolt Finn. Maybe even Finn is gay or a douche like Pearce/her dad. (it's not spoiling the book if I've yet to read it....I just wanna see if my prediction was right. If so....too hard of a lean into the trope, Center. (I thought it was my first Center book; I'd read two before this one!)

I love the Love Essay at the beginning, and I love the dedication to me (since I need a hug for sure right about now). Life FUCKING SUCKS....I am a bit worried, though. This is my first Katherine Center Book and I sure hope it doesn't feel like a Hallmark movie. I have been a fan of romance since I cracked my first Julie Garwood back in 2000. So...love story, make me feel it's still real!
