A review by greenteabookme
Bloom by Helen Hardt

2.0

Bloom was not the book for me. It had a strong intriguing start and I didn’t mind Frankie at the beginning, but I found her to be and unreliable FMC, and much of her was kind of whiny and frustrating. And she was so rude to poor Tom (this date dialogue was very tough to read as well).

As for Phantom… nothing about his disguise was appealing or attractive to me, so I had difficulty engaging with their relationship. I had high hopes / guesses for who the phantom would turn out to be and the direction the book would take and unfortunately was disappointed by how off I was.

All-in-all it had a lot of potential just fell really flat, and I wish I’d DNF’d. I would try something else by this author though.

Thanks Entangled and NetGalley for the arc to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
