What Makes An Unexpected Valentine by Te Russ A Good Read
1. Different Sides of the Character
For a short novella, the author does a great job of capturing the different sides of the main characters. We get to see the feisty and regretful side of Yasmin, and the cold anger and playfulness of Nolan. Seeing the different sides of them allowed us to see what kind of people they are.
2. The Build-up
Going from simmering hot to boiling hot. The chemistry between the two is definitely amazing. You could feel the heat through words and gestures. And when their passion exploded it was dynamite.
3. All in a Day
Even though the story happens all on Valentine’s Day, the author does a great job of showing how an enemy can become a lover in one day.
What I Feel Some Kinda Way About
1. All the Places It Could Go
The book is too short. The story should have been a novel instead of a novella. There is so much more to explore with such amazing characters.
2. A Cheesy Moment
There is a cheesy, yet teachable moment in the book. The moment is needed but I felt that it messed with the flow of the story.
