Marketed as a cross between two books I liked, setting in the Galápagos Islands got it a point for originality, and seeing a tweet from a friend about how much they enjoyed it put it right at the top of my list. Totally enjoyable but not overly compelling. Worth reading but not anything I’d tell you to rush out to buy. Solid library book. Mostly writing a review for myself, so I can avoid sequels. This was no The Hating Game. The main character was unlikeable, and her conflict with Graham was clearly one-sided. Her relationship with her sister was bad, and seemed to be largely her fault. She was also obsessed with "getting ahead" at work solely for the sake of a title. These are my main three triggers for disliking books, so I'm amazed that I finished it. I kept reading to get to the unnecessarily dramatic ending that some reviews mentioned, and that was my favorite part. I did enjoy the Galapagos sightseeing information, as well as the environmental messages. 2.5 stars A tropical vacation being exactly what is on my wish list right now, Shipped blurb was right up my alley. The Galápagos Islands did not disappoint and I wished I was there as the author had done a really good job of researching. I also really liked Henley and her work ethics and all. The actual romance however was a little less exciting. The greatest sticking point to the relationship between Henley and Graeme was that it ultimately lacked tension and subsequently felt a bit flat. In a romance novel, the OTP journey is the most important and one should be very invested and sadly I was not in this book. I will describe it as an average beach read. Nothing bad, but equally nothing that stands out. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. My problem with enemies-to-lovers storylines tends to be that I don't buy the change, whether it's the reason for it or that I don't believe either the enemies part or the lovers part. But Hockman nailed the plot. I bought it all. And I shipped it all so hard because of it. The work dynamic was fascinating, even if at the end it felt a little bit too neatly wrapped up. I loved how Hockman demonstrated Henley's relationships with her colleagues and how they manifested outside work. And of course her sister was an absolute delight, with many nuances to her. And our Russian lover-boy was absolutely hilarious! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
