I can't quite put my finger on it, but I struggled to connect with the story.

I want to thank Forever, Grand Central Publishing, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Book Club Boyfriend. All opinions presented here are my own.
Book Club Boyfriend flew under the radar; I was unaware of its pending release until 6 weeks before its scheduled release date. I’ve enjoyed the other books I’ve read by Jenny Holiday, so this was an instant add to my TBR.
Overall, I enjoyed reading Book Club Boyfriend. I’m unsure why it’s classified as an enemy-to-lovers story. Why? Because I don’t see it. Sure, Blair and Jack have a rough meeting at the beginning of the book. But that doesn’t mean they’re enemies. They are two opinionated people with different life experiences.
I loved that Blair and Jack are older than the typical leads in a romance. When I say they’re older, I mean they aren’t in their mid-20s like so many leads.
Another thing I loved was the exploration of mental health and childhood trauma. One character has anxiety and OCD. One character has a parent who was less than loving, maybe even a bit neglectful. But with these topics, there were many instances of “poor me” from both leads. While the characters have the right to feel their feelings, there were a couple of times when it felt too much. And a competition to see who was in the worst space.
If you like slow-burn romances, you should give Book Club Boyfriend a read.

None of the characters are likable. The story is not funny; why do they advertise it as such? The storyline is choppy and disjointed.
