Loveboat Reunion

more like a 4.5 :) where [b:Loveboat, Taipei 23559994 Loveboat, Taipei (Loveboat, Taipei, #1) Abigail Hing Wen https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1589494372l/23559994.SY75.jpg 43159618] was full of teenage angst and learning to fit in, loveboat reunion is about self-discovery and acceptance. if you've read the first book, sophie and xavier were a mess. the sequel starts with a brand new ‘i'm gonna be making my own bag and not rely on a man' sophie and an ‘i hate my dad and my rich family' xavier. i found both protagonists to be well dynamic and, surprisingly, i was very satisfied with how the family drama was tied up and the MC's HEA :) it really is nice to see a healthy relationship develop for a change: seeing sophie and xavier support each others' ambitions really warms my heart <3

Rating: 3.75 stars

It was an enjoyable book and I appreciated the authentic representation of one of the main characters who has dyslexia and the realities of growing up as twice exceptional. I especially loved seeing the growth of Sophie and Xavier throughout the second book. Wish there was slightly better pacing but overall an engaging read.
