An Unexpected Kind of Love

DNF at around 60%. I tried so hard, I really did.

Reasons I'm DNF-ing this book:

1) It sounds cute and fluffy, but it has a general air of gloom about it. It's just a downer.
2) I didn't get any of the fun “normal person dating a celebrity” vibes/tropes that I wanted.
3) I realised I didn't really care what happened to these characters.
4) The MC (the narrator) is an English guy, but he uses American words and phrases. This drives me insane; how did literally no one (editors, proofreaders?) pick up on this? British people don't use the word “faucet”! They don't say things like, “I don't know where my phone is at”. That's fully American. Ugh. Don't write a book from a British person's POV if you don't know how they speak.

I should have given up after the extremely awkward BJ that happened very early on. So cringe. But I really wanted to give it a chance, because it was supposed to be a gay Notting Hill retelling, and what's not to love about that? Oh well.
