Tropes are, by their nature, straightforward and obvious. I realize this is a strange comment to make. The plotline was so straightforward and obvious, it actually began to bore me. Unfortunately, while the book does follow the trope to its tried and true end, I did not find it satisfying. Maybe this was a risk to assume in a new author but surprisingly, I had faith. But I thought it fairly obvious in the book’s cover copy that all would end well. Normally, I avoid stories about people actively trying to break up other people’s relationships. So what are the third and fourth wheels to do? Try to break up their best friends’ relationship, of course. To complete the love rectangle is Talon’s best friend, Wesley, who has a thing for Reagan. (I’m not even going to comment on the name.) Too bad Talon’s dating her best friend, Reagan. Kayla has been in love with Talon for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, a trope can’t carry itself.
The premise of your new adult novel sounded like it would deliver. Doubly so when it turns out someone else is more suited to them and the story is about them learning that. I have a soft spot for romances about people in love with the wrong person.
