The Seven Year Slip

I heard so many good things about it and wanted to like this more, but I was really struggling with this. I almost DNF-ed it, but I stuck with it.

I love a good time travel romance, and I was also willing to suspend disbelief and “rules” since it was a lighthearted romp. My gripe is not with that.

My gripe is with the characters. I just didn't connect with them. They seemed a little too perfect and fell a little too quickly and easily. They always knew the right things to say and never felt like they had to struggle too much. Just like I will excuse a story's flaws if the characters are good, it will take me out of it if the characters are bad.

I'm sure other people will enjoy this more, especially those looking for romance novels as an “escape”. I think I also got annoyed by all the food talk, too, which probably won't bother other folks as much.
