Yikes! And it's amazing when a book can pull us in and make us feel so much emotion. Even when we have certain feelings towards the characters.

I think that is such a gift!! <br /><br />I can't remember if you've read The Intimacy Experiment yet or not (I'm thinking not?) so I hope you'll love it!Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-83488286927092193342021-03-23T10:22:39.864-04:002021-03-23T10:22:39.864-04:00I really connected to Naomi and Ethan more than Cl...I really connected to Naomi and Ethan more than Clara and Josh, which was surprising because I don't ususally connect to pricky characters. <br /><br />I totally felt manipulated by Bright Side. LOL I mean, it felt like every character, every plot thread was designed for an emotional punch. But at the same time, I fell for it. Ha. So kudos for that one, and next month it's on to The Mistake! :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-234939208740244162021-03-21T14:24:46.355-04:002021-03-21T14:24:46.355-04:00I can't wait for the Intimacy Experiment!

There were a few hiccups in the pacing of the story, but the characters were so great and made up for it.

Can't wait to read it. As for Kate, I don't guess I ever viewed her as flawless. I always thought she was just trying to make the best of her bad circumstances. And then she had that breakdown moment that made it feel even more so for me. But, I can definitely see where you're coming from. Glad you enjoyed it in the end!!Ali @ Ali's Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487595062262883183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-60588128732265804902021-03-19T13:37:21.730-04:002021-03-19T13:37:21.730-04:00I liked The Intimacy Experiment even more than The...I liked The Intimacy Experiment even more than The Roommate. And I loved that book. Her writing is only going to improve and that's AWESOME for us. Glad you adored it, too.<br />So Bright Side... I think I can understand what you mean by Kate's special snowflake thing, but it didn't occur to me at all while reading it. I think I just thought here is someone living their best life trying to get others to do the same because... I think I cried that last 1/3 of that book. I'm glad you ended up liking it even if it wasn't a 5 star. I'm glad I could influence you to read it!
