Rom without Com
Bewertet mit 3.5 Sternen
The title, the cover and the description all made me believe that this is fairly light chick-lit. But it isn't really, there is a lot of sadness, anger, helplessness, hurt, the feeling of betrayal, being not self-confident enough. Which all leads January to have a writers block - and a deadline to deliver her next funny rom-com book at the end of the summer.
I didn't mind the more serious tone and all the troubles accompanying our two protagonists. It just got a bit repetitive after a while, especially when January thinks about her Dad and his second life. It became tedious.
I also expected their 'bet' to be a bit different - that each of them would write a book for the other person. This wasn't the case, they only try to incorporate the others prefered genre into the book they are currently working on.
But apart from that the book was really ok, and I liked reading how January and Augustus become re-acquainted with each other.
