the paper-thin plot is drowning in endless walls of dialogue meant to serve as hilarious banter, but ends up turning into regurgitated callbacks and a lack of true chemistry or relationship depth thanks to hermione’s complete lack of emotions until the very last chapter. the storyline itself is so weak and uninteresting that it was hard to maintain an interest in the research project for long; what’s worse is that any “reveals” or resolving of sexual tensions don’t quite hit the mark, leaving a dull aftertaste after dedicating so many hours to reading.
but despite it all, if there’s anything the author deserves kudos for it is her ability to keep you engaged purely based on her writing; she has a way with words that make it so easy to envision the scene, with no shortage of witty conversation between our two leads. sadly, 1000+ pages worth of recycled bickering can only evoke excitement so far....more
