The second chance romance in this was so busted and problematic and the male lead had no personality other than repeating back talking points lol …like i can’t even begin to get into it

The character went from saying some really hardcore “why do I exist/I’m useless” depressive statements to her mom to walking into her power (with little evidence in the narrative showing how she realistically got there) in like 2 days lmaoo

Also knowing someone who actually was a provider at planned parenthood and works in women’s health … it’s hard to get invested because this portrayal of clinic life is just really inaccurate

I also feel the FMC comes across as incredibly
naive in how she relates to the the supernatural and contemporary aspects of her story

The author drops these very obvious breadcrumbs to the reader and the FMC is just completely out to lunch

And again… pacing is weird and messing up any chance of building meaningful tension

This book has major pacing issues and the performative liberal characters who have no personality other than atoning for their perceived ideological sins is very boring

I mean, this is super to the point and hits you over the head with its POV… But I actually don’t mind it. I just wish there were more on page physical descriptions of the characters, including the FMC.

Clinic is busy but they went on a lunch break to the museum in another part of the city oh ok loll

Might finish this book in 11 days before the hold is up, may have a baby…let’s see what happens first
