A character in a romance can be excused of terrible and selfish behaviour because they did so in the name of true love. I think my major problem with the romance genre is that you have to accept the idea that true love is the thing we should all be striving for. The only problem is that it also brings her face-to-face with a person she knows she can’t fall for but the only person she really wants. A chance encounter at a party puts her on a path that brings both romance and professional acclaim.

It tells the story of Feyi, an artist who is trying to get back into the dating world 5 years after the death of her husband. This is why I was interested in reading this book. After all, love, sex and relationships are all important parts of the human experience, which means romance is the perfect place to explore many aspects of human life. I admit that it’s not my favourite genre but I can’t agree with this. There are still plenty of people who see reading romance novels as a waste of time. Why am I wasting my time reading disappointing ARCs when I have books I’m genuinely looking forward to reading? My latest is a genre that I normally wouldn’t have picked up but the story intrigued me. Especially as the ones that I’ve read recently haven’t exactly been great. I have so many books that I haven’t read yet that I paid for, so ignoring them in favour of ones that I got free seems stupid.

I’m definitely going to have to take a break from requesting them because it’s too stressful. I’m slowly getting through all of my ARCs and it’s such a relief.
