Avocado toast is delicious.
I think you hit on what I think about several of my favorite romances. I have a few sci-fi romances where the alien world and characters are under-developed, but yet there is something in the writing that pulls me in and is just sheer fun. The love triangle would probably put me off even if this one is fun. I've just gotten such a low tolerance for it. Your avocado egg on sourdough looked great. I was finishing the tuna salad sandwich I had for lunch while listening. :)
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for eating a runny lunch on camera while handling a book. How did you succeed in not wearing your lunch? Skillz, lady. Skillz. (I had a bit of cold, leftover, sad sad lamb- appetite is gone, but I need protein, so....)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this review- that is EXACTLY why I don't generally enjoy romances. I keep trying, but...it's rare that I've found one with well-written characters and good storytelling (that's....you know...central to the plot). Any recommendations?
Good bad books sounds like a fun book chat.
