Bride

After hearing WithCindy and The Book Leo's rating of this book, I thought that I had to give it a try especially since I was on the brink of a reading slump. Reading fun stories have been proven as a reliable remedy for it.

First off, I've never read an Ali Hazelwood book before this one so I didn't know about her writing style. I didn't hate it, but there were times the protagonist (and all the characters really except for Ana) that felt younger than 25.

I really did like Misery as a character. I felt that I could relate to her interpersonal relationships and her way of dealing with things throughout the book. However, I did not like Lowe in the second half of the book. I'm not going to say much bc of spoilers and all that jazz, but I would very much have liked to slap him if I were Misery.

There's also a part near the climax where a character is exposition-ing and it's them basically rambling and Misery saying ‘W-What??!?!' as a reaction each time
and then more rambling. This continues for five pages.

Overall, I did enjoy the book even though some of the spicy scenes made me set the book down and contemplate all of humanity's creations and legacy upon the universe. -cough cough the kn*t scene cough cough-

But knowing that there might be a sequel and that it might be a relationship with a Were...and knowing how they do it... yeah I don't think I'll be picking up the second book.
