Whenever I'm reading a book like this I'm always thinking about that spectrum when it comes to MM romance novels of the extent to which these books seem like they were written by and for women. This book is definitely pretty far along that spectrum. I also felt like there was something American in the tone which was kind of weird because it's taking place in England or whatever. I looked up the author and was unable to determine for sure where she's from. I think it said she worked for the Washington Post or something but I thought maybe she could be British and working there. But then in the book she says the snow is like powdered sugar and then I was like oh yeah this girl is American because I'm pretty sure British people don't say powdered sugar. I could be wrong but that was my smoking gun lol. Anyway the dialogue is all really bad from my perspective. The people in this book don't speak or think like people I know in real life and certainly not like men I know in real life. But people seem to like this book so I'm glad it exists for them.
