Rezension von Leah KollmannI actually quite disliked this book. I didn’t have a lot of expectations but I thought the premise sounded cute and like something different. But god the dialogue was so hard to listen to (read/listened to it as an audiobook). The narrator had a good voice but I found her men’s voice combined with the cringe dialogue just…yeah. I hated the self pity from Shay a lot, the continuous mention of their age gap and the racism, as well as sexism which is mentioned but nobody did anything against it (kinda wished they did something about it at the end). To the romance: I simply didn’t believe their chemistry or romantic feelings, it came through as really 'tropy' and not real at all. And I disliked especially that Shay foamed at her mouth for Dominic from literally chapter 1, yes he might be attractive but come on. (+ too many mentions of 'sexy forearms') Lastly, I think that the characters, especially Shay, did not act like full fledged adults (mind you she is 30), just really cringe statements and quoting of weird pop culture references.
Rezension von fritzisooo I didn't love EVERYTHING in this book but it would have felt wrong to give anything less than five stars, as "the ex talk" has made me feel things I haven't felt since watching "Notting Hill" for the first time
Rezension von miriam ♡THEY ARE LAVENDER HAZE AND THE GREAT WAR. Loved it. 10/10
Rezension von Matcha Marie 🍵In dem Buch geht es um zwei Radiomoderatoren die für ihre Sendung vorgeben ein ehemaliges Pärchen zu sein, welche Beziehungstipps geben und sich hinter den Kulissen aber wirklich verlieben. Also die Idee ist doch super oder? Vorallem Dominic mit seiner ehrlichen Art, hat mir gefallen. Das einzige was mir persönlich nicht so gefallen hat war als die beiden zum Ende hin so einen persönlichen Moment hatten, und diesen aber mit den Radio-Zuhörern geteilt haben. Trotzdem konnte mich der Roman voll und ganz überzeugend, auch weil mit alten Rollenbildern aufgeräumt wird und Shay die ältere ist und die bessere Stellung im Sender genießt, außerdem ist Dominic ein POC Charakter. Auch die Spicy Szenen waren übrigens sehr gut und nicht zu häufig.
Rezension von BettinaDie Geschichte kam genau zur richtigen Zeit. Wenn der Kopf voll ist, sehr viel zu erledigen ist und man sich einfach in eine Wohlfühl-Liebesgeschichte ohne zu viel Drama stürzen will, ist man hier genau richtig.
