Huge Deal by Lauren Layne
3.25
SO FUCKITN ANNOYED BC IS THIS THE MINTH OF LETDOWNS???
oh my god. the first 80% of this book was the mindless escapist riddled perfection i needed. yes it was cliche and yes it was tropey but FUCK ME it did it SO WELL. again i’m not one to document my lauren layne reads on goodreads but like i HAD TO on this one bc it WORKED. it worked SO WELL like to the point i was amazed it wasn’t adapted into anything yet bc it was so good. ugh like the innate ways the main two like and know each other, the YEARNING; like it WORKED. there’s certain moments in this book that genuinely had me giddy; like when the word she has for him is BLIND and the strip chess?? uGH
COULD HER DAD NOT DIE LATER THO
her character shift was so jarring and she ended up treating everyone around her like shit which is a very realistic reaction yeah
but
oh my god
it robbed me of the perfect conclusion you’d need to what would’ve been pretty much a four star book.
she should have GRIVELLED and should’ve been shoved out. instead alas it’s a lauren layne ending i shouldn’t be that surprised .
so annoyed.
