You're the Problem, It's You by Emma R. Alban
fast-paced
Thank you NetGalley and Avon for the arc!
I absolutely adored the first book in the series, and I am really bad to say that the second book was thoroughly enjoyable.
The Romance
Would I say this enemies to lovers? No I would not, but the romance is still spectacular. The tension between Bobby and James is just so good. It is definitely less enemies delivers and more just miscommunication and misunderstandings between them that lead them just to not like each other. Every single romance in these books, whether there would be the main characters or the side characters is so perfect!
The characters
Now one of my only complaints about this book is that I do think some of the characters had moments and scenes where they were acting really out of character or their character switched how they were acting at a certain point kinda randomly. one of the bigger ones that stood out was when James got over his issues and kind of decided to fight for Bobby at the end. I think the flow could’ve been better as it kind of read as though he runs away doesn’t wanna do it and then immediately changes his mind. I get the pacing and the direction. I just think the flow could’ve been a bit better. As well as I do, wish we got to see a bit more of Bobby and James in between hating each other and being in love. The flip between them fighting and bickering all the time to almost immediately being head over heels is very quick. I would’ve loved to see a bit more of the In Between phase
I would definitely say there are some differences between the books generally, I would say in the vibes. The first book definitely focuses more on this beautiful and sweet romance between Gwen and Beth with a little bit less outside plot stuff happening. This book while it does have an absolutely spectacular romance, incorporates a bit more of the world outside of the romance and a more realistic view of the romantic possibilities. I actually think that was a real bonus for the book as it makes it a bittersweet and beautiful romance while still representing that this was a reality for many people in history.
