DYRC19 February: Let's Talk About Love by Clare Kann

February's theme was a romance book.  Obviously that's broad and gives you a looooot of options, and in a way that makes it harder, doesn't it?  I didn't want to read about the typical straight white couple of your typical romance book.  I didn't want anything crazy sexual.  I wanted something that gave me the warm fuzzies!  So after poking around goodreads and reading a bunch of different online lists, I found Let's Talk About Love by Clare Kann.

I really liked this book, though I didn't love it as much as I expected to.  It was really good and well written, but there were certain parts that made me uncomfortable for personal reasons.  I think what happened is that I read the summary of this -- a biromantic asexual black girl named Alice meets this amazing guy while working at a library and they figure out the whole dating while ace thing together --  and it hit all the right buttons.  I hyped it up a little too much so it would have been hard to live up to that.  But I did like it!  The ending was perfect.

Here's my goodreads review.  Not a lot more in depth thoughts but you know... follow me on Goodreads lol.

I started this book February 22 and finished February 24.  Equal parts quick read and me having a lot of time on my hands, sitting at my mom's hospital bedside.

Would I recommend this book? Sure, it was a fun little read.

I did finish my February dyrc19 book, but I haven't had time to write my post about it. My mom is in the hospital, and things aren't looking good.  Docs aren't optimistic, unfortunately.  So I've been out at the hospital practically all day every day for the last eight days.  I have actually gotten a fair amount of reading done while sitting at her bedside, but I come home so fucking beat I usually will watch an episode of something, force myself to eat dinner (stress has killed my appetite) and then fall asleep and sleep poorly at that.  I do want to get that post up (since I actually did finish the book on time for once lol) but it may take me a while.
