I loved the whole concept of Face Time. I haven’t really read that many books focusing on long-distance relationships and especially with the contact between Laura and Lee being through technology, I believe that SJ Pajonas has written a great contemporary romance.I wasn’t instantly drawn to the relationship between Laura and Lee. With their first meeting, I did think their dialogue and chemistry seemed a bit forced. But it didn’t take me too long to change my opinion as the alternative chapters for the main characters slowly developed their feelings and made me believe it more. Both Laura and Lee were likeable, real characters who were easy relatable. They each had their own issues and things to work through and I think the plot in Face Time is a real winner for the author because there’s so much for people to relate to.The romance was really original and enjoyable. I thought all the Face Time-ing might have been a bit repetitive but it wasn’t at all. Each scene was different and the other characters all added to the plot too. Nicole was probably my favourite side-character but I thought they all had their own appeal.Face Time was really entertaining and written very well. As soon as the moment came that I could root for Laura and Lee, the story flowed easily and it was captivating learning about the characters and seeing their stories and feelings grow. SJ Pajonas wrote a lovely modern romance and is an author I’ll be looking out for more from.4/5.*Book gifted for honest review.
