Misleading
2.5 stars. I feel like a bit of a jerk right now because I was so sure I was going to love this book. I mean, that title! That cover! That premise! Early reviews did mention that there was some emotional depth to an otherwise fluffy romance, but like, I think there was too much emotional depth and not enough fluffy romance?? The entire book had a thick layer of Sad that tampered my enjoyment because my expectation going into the story was “feel-good summer romance.” Which it wasn’t. Not very feel-good, and I didn’t think it was funny, either. I also didn’t vibe with the chemistry between January and Augustus. Okay, I’m done being grumpy. Ugh. I realize I’m in the minority here, so I’m glad there are people who were pleasantly surprised by what this book turned out to be! Unfortunately, I am not one of them.
