The dates
Review:
This book sounded like a romantic comedy movie, and I knew that I needed to read it. I was lucky enough to be granted a copy by the publisher as part of a blog tour. It was so worth it.
An enemies (kind of) to lovers’ story with online dating mishaps. It’s the perfect concoction. The dates are my absolute favorite part of the book. I love the bonding between the two leads as well, but I’m a sucker for a horrible date. It was also great that none of the dates felt cliché. They each felt uniquely horrible in their own ways.
Our two mains were amazing. I loved that they were both clearly dedicated to their jobs and trying their hardest, even while they were struggling. I also loved the connection that the two made with each other. They both had resistances and preconceived ideas, but they were able to slowly strip away those ideas as they interacted more with each other. The two had a very cute connection. I don’t particularly know if I thought there was a lot of steamy chemistry between them, but I think that’s more my thing than anything else. I definitely loved the romance though! It felt well-earned and solid. The epilogue was absolute gold.
I do want to talk a little about the side characters as well. They were amazing. Ben had some very interesting friends, and not-so friends, that added a lot of personality to the story. Marlo seemed to have less people that she interacted with, and her friend was a bit more traditional than Ben’s. Both characters had friends that fit well with them. I don’t like Marlo’s parents but that’s because they give me secondhand embarrassment. I am a little obsessed with Ben’s sister. She’s a side character that we don’t see a whole lot about, but I love her.
I will admit that I was overwhelmed at first by all the names and connections between the main characters and the side characters. The fact that some of them went to school together and others had crushes on each other just had me stumbling a bit. I was able to get everyone set straight in my brain after a while, with a couple of notable exceptions. The exceptions were definitely the parents. I am very unused to books where characters refer to their parents by their first names and it threw me. I had a hard time placing the parents.
I don’t think there was really any specific thing about the book that I disliked. That feels weird because it’s not a 5 out of 5, but it’s true. My general feelings towards the book are what lead me to give it a lower score, but that definitely doesn’t mean that it’s a bad book in any way.
