Kiss Me Every Day by Dena Blake
1.0
I usually like the Groundhog Day trope, I love watching how people learn and change over the course of a singular day, over and over and over again. So when I found out that Kiss Me Every Day was a sapphic romance take on the trope, I was super excited. Unfortunately, it didn't hold up to what I wanted. I only made it approximately halfway through before I decided to skim the last half and then read the epilogue.
Kiss Me Every Day follows Wynn, a successful business woman who regrets not winning over Carly, the woman who eventually married her sister. When she ends up getting dinner with Carly, they begin to rekindle their feelings for each other, only to have Wynn wake up on the day she let Carly go to her sister. It's a dual POV, alternating between Wynn and Carly every chapter.
While the idea of having the two sisters fighting over the same woman made me hesitate, it didn't actually bother me the way I guessed it might. In fact, I thought Blake did a good job of making sure that the reader knew why everything had fallen apart the way it had. Unfortunately, that's really the only pro I have for this book. I had no connection to any of the characters in the entire book, despite the book primarily focusing on three characters: Carly, Wynn and her sister, Jordan. Not having a connection made it really difficult to get into the book, and I honestly found it difficult to differentiate between Carly and Wynn, the only difference was that Wynn didn't seem to have any morals until the end of the book. I didn't click with the writing either, so overall I just didn't particularly enjoy this. It's not the writing was bad, there just wasn't enough pizzazz for me I guess? It felt more tell than show, but it's definitely a style that other people could enjoy.
