Angels in the City

Suddenly a thought popped up in my head and that thought was I want to read a Garrett Leigh book. It's been a while since I read a book by this author so I looked into my library and this was the only one I have at the moment so I picked it up.

It's the middle of August so when I started reading and saw that the plot is set close to Christmas, I wanted to drop it and read it in the winter, but I instantly liked the characters so much I couldn't bring myself to put it down.

Jonah was great and charming, but Sacha stole the show, I adored him. His dry sense of humour was hilarious, his want of having things laid out clearly was both funny and hot depending on the context, and he was a general joy to have on the page to the point where I missed him when he was nowhere around for more than two and a half pages. It was instant love.

The story progressed so nicely, it had none of the typical tropes in a fake-boyfriend or friends-to-lovers type of story and that made me very happy. If I think about it I might have not even noticed them or at least not be bothered by them at all given how taken with the characters I was. Beside the two main characters, I liked Jonah and Sacha's co-workers too, as well as their families and friends (especially Eleanor and maybe sometimes I didn't like Lilly all that much, but she's good).

Angels in the City is a great read, maybe read it in December for a better immersion in the story. If I would have to pick something I was not thrilled about. is the length of the book, this book is one of those I would have loved to be a bit longer, I want more of Sacha's humour.
