On Dublin Street

This book was just okay. The book is definitely on the spicy side which is why I can see how it is popular on Booktok. I liked the premise and the style of writing (which is why I am probably going to read the second book to give the series a chance). I wasn’t the biggest fan of the main characters. Joss is CLEARLY emotionally stunted. Most of the book she is pretty stand-off-ish and and borderline aggressive. I will say, I appreciate the whole therapy arc that she had. Towards the end, she got better which I appreciated, but she certainly was not my favorite character. Braden was also… toxic. He was kind of pushy. I think he matched well with Joss but… it just wasn’t super healthy. They both needed therapy honestly (not just her). I will say I liked the side characters, so it is possible for the author to write more than just assholes.

If you like spicy romances set in Scotland about with the best friend/roommate’s brother trope between those who need therapy, this is for you. If you don’t like any of that except maybe the Scotland part… this book is probs not for you.
