I only chose this cos it was short and should go by fast, but yeah not fast enough. It was kind of boring and emotionless.
Two companies are sent to a retreat. Viola and Jesse has been crushing on each other. Finally a move is made. I did not really felt anything to be honest. They got together, good for them. But something was always lacking.
So maybe not the novella I would recommend.
The narrator ...well I do not even remember her anymore. So maybe everything was the problem
Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, a.k.a. her arch-nemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her–and Viola has no idea why.
When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you.
But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there’s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.
Oh dear, just meh is as bad as a book that gets one riled up.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it was short so
DeleteMm I always think a novella is suspect!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is true
DeleteI've had mixed feelings on the last couple of Hazelwoods I've read so I won't be picking this one up either. At least it was short. :/
ReplyDeleteShort is good, but no feels at all
DeleteSorry to hear it wasn't better for you.
ReplyDeleteIt happens
DeleteI still nee to read Hazelwood. I thought this would be cute but sorry it wasn't better. It also does not sound like there was much about videos games, which was what interested me in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThe vide games aspect was there, so you could have enjoyed that. That waas actually more interesting than the romance
DeleteI usually love her books (Bride was my favorite book in 2024), but oddly, I didn't pick up this one. Probably good I didn't!
ReplyDeleteI need to read Bride, I still have hopes for that one
DeleteI need to read Bride.
ReplyDeleteSame...one day
