Rezension von JosefinThe characters had potential, but the author was too busy cramming every uncomfortable cliché into this book.
Rezension von Christina 4,5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The middle part until the big reveal was a bit drawn out for me. The rest was classic Lindsey Kelk, loved it.
Rezension von Monika Thank you Harper Collins for the ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I've never read from Lindsey Kelk before, but after this banger I ordered almost her entire backlist because if anything will get me to love a book that has tropes I don't love, it's a sense of humour that's twisted the same way mine is. ‘You don’t think books like this give women unrealistic expectations?’ ... ‘Only if you don’t think you deserve love.’ "Love Story" is set mostly over one single chaotic weekend, so it's as insta-love as it gets. We follow Sophie, who's written a bestselling smutty romance novel under a pen name and has told noone, especially not her parents who work in publishing and are extreme snobs when it comes to literature. I absolutely loved Sophie, and could completely understand where she came from. Joe, on the other hand, I couldn't really put my finger on, which was definitely intended and resolved by the end, but I just couldn't trust the guy really. The banter between Sophie and Joe as well as Sophie and her family were top notch, pee in my pants, water through my nose hilarious. The way they collectively roasted her ex will forever have a place in my heart. Through Sophie's journey, Kelk opens up a conversation about the (internalised) misogyny that romance authors and readers face. The way women are belittled and insulted for writing and reading romance, even when it provides escapism in the same way as, say, fantasy is infuriating because the belittlement is aimed specifically at women. I don't exclude myself from that internalised misogyny, I used to be sort of a literary snob myself, only for the last few years I accepted the romance loving part of me. I loved how Kelk managed to give shout outs to her fellow romance authors. Despite my rave, I have two quips with it. For one, the ending was a bit messy for my taste. The other was scene in which the MMC was sexually harrassed by a woman and it was kinda laughed off as a joke? Did I misinterpret that scene? 4.5
