Review: Cute, Just Not For Me
Rating: 2 out of 5

The blurb for this book says that this book is a hilarious, romantic novella. I'm really not sure there was anything that was actually all that hilarious about the book. There were some funny moments, sure, but nothing that made me laugh out loud. The book was romantic enough, but there were things that really kind of bothered me about it. I didn't enjoy it as much I thought I would and a lot of that had to do with feeling like I was being beaten over the head with parts of the story that I had already gotten.I knew that Kate was poor and writing her thesis...although we never learned what she was getting her PhD in. I knew that Henry was super rich...I mean, really, really rich. It was like that was all he had going for him. I never really felt like I got to know the characters beyond the superficial things and that they both had issues with trust, hers because her ex was a cheating dirtbag, him because he was rich and women always only wanted him for his money. I also didn't feel like there was really any chemistry between Kate and Henry. I didn't even care when things went bad for a bit or when things went right again.I really wanted to like this book, but I guess it just wasn't for me.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
