Last Call at the Local by Sarah Grunder Ruiz
2.5
Read Complete 1/10/24 | 2.5 stars, rounded up because it wasn't bad but just not for me
I seem to be the outlier here... I just didn't care about this book at all. I didn't connect with the characters, the romance was barely there, I felt no spark, and I felt like there was no story. I just didn't feel like anything happened or anything developed, and the romance wasn't enough to carry the book... which in a romance book, it obviously should.
Clearly, people enjoyed this but it felt like the characters just bouncing around each other and zero plot whatsoever. A romance book can just be vibes, but when you don't connect with those vibes, it falls flat, so that's what happened to me here.
I did like some things. I liked how the two were able to help each other, connect with each other, and openly talk about their mental health. They each supported each other and made a good match. I obviously liked the reappearance of past characters. And I liked the travel vibes.
This one just didn't do it for me, but I appreciate the change in pace. If there are more books in this series, I still look forward to trying them.
