Never Sweeter

Gah. This was so fucking cute.

There were a few editing issues and inconsistencies but those were easily overlooked because I fell head over heals for closet cinnamon roll hero Tate!! I was really in the mood for something a bit bully/angst-y, and this gave me everything I wanted, and then some.

This was the first bully book I think I've ever read where I actually felt like the hero actually internalized the consequences of his actions and redeemed himself. I loved Letty (I'm a big sucker for a low self esteem heroine, shoot me). I thought the push and pull between her and Tate made a lot of sense! It was a bit frustrating when she would continuously pull away from him right when they were making progress, but honestly, it made complete sense and I couldn't blame her for it one bit. She was a very strong heroine to continuously be able to be upfront about her trauma, voice her feelings even though it might hurt Tate's.

I think this was also the first romance book that I have ever enjoyed which only had the heroines POV. I am usually of the opinion that the MMC's POV is more interesting. However the way Charlotte Stein wrote it really worked! Tate was such a softy and Letty was able to read him like a book, so it was almost cuter this way! He was so obviously head over heels for her and he couldn't hide it! I love love loved it!


The only thing I wish is that there was some sort of epilogue, or bonus chapter or something! The ending left me salivating for one more teeny tiny taste of their HEA.
