So this was the second book in the Well Met series. I wanted to like it, but I didn’t love our heroine, Stacey. She is the stereotype of a ‘basic white girl,’ and I’m not here for it. Much of the book felt like it was trying hard to give her more depth while playing up her love of pumpkin spice lattes and her obsession with social media.

While her email exchange with Daniel is so sweet and creates a better slow burn than Well Met did, but it all falls apart because of the compounding lies. By the big grand gesture moment, I was checked out. Daniel isn’t a great leading man. He’s a liar, insecure and has no backbone. There are two instance where he is given the opportunity to stand up and fight for her and he doesn’t take them. He shuts down. Is that really what we want to see from the person we love and who is supposed to love us?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for girls executing the grand gesture instead of being on the receiving end of it, but in this case, it wasn’t deserved or earned.

Read this one because we get a healthy dose of Emily and Simon mixed it, but Stacey and Daniel are not the couple for me.🙅🏽‍♀️
