Review: Unfortunately I couldn't get through this book. Sarah Danhauser is absolutely shocked that her stepdaughter is getting engaged with the engagement coming up so soon. This book offers multiple POVs in a messy family where all of them are trying to figure out who they are, what they stand for, and what they want in the middle of the pandemic.
Personally, I found the multiple POVs too confusing and I had a difficult time keeping track of the characters. Second, while I felt that this read would be bearable in terms of taking place in the pandemic, I couldn't get past that aspect. For myself, it wasn't a relatable read and I wasn't able to finish it....more
I don't like DNF'ing books but unfortunately I could not get through this one. I made it 55% of the way before DNF'ing
A rom-com that plays out 2.5/5

A rom-com that plays out like a bizarre movie in our heads. The premise of the book is that our main character, Trixie, saves a chicken trying to cross the road, and that just happens to be the meet cute where she meets Bear, the main male character. She can't stay at her apartment any longer and ends up moving in with Bear... and the chicken.
There was good character development and both Bear and Trixie had depth to them, Trixie and Bear both grew as people and dealt with their past traumas in a way that allowed both of them to recognize how they could move forward as people. I enjoyed that Trixie was able to connect with Bear's family so well and that their inner dialogue presented some of their past and why they acted certain ways. However, the romance felt like there was no chemistry. A lot of it felt like fluff and the story arc fell flat and kept returning to the chicken, which I was personally not a fan of. Trixie is described as a "manic pixie" and Bear is "shy" but the dynamic between the two was one with little communication, which dragged out the plot.
Thank you NetGalley and Alcove Press for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review....more
