Review of 'Rood en wit met blauw' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
I struggled through this book due to the unlikable and obnoxious characters, especially Alex, so it was difficult to get invested into the main relationship.
The side characters just seemed to blend together at some point. Not a big fan of how the British characters were written (less stereotypical, more nuanced please), it felt they were sidelined in favour of the Americans.
The plot is okay, good if you like the lack of conflict. I enjoyed the use of emails for the main couple's correspondence, their RL interactions not so much. There were some funny moments but not as much as I hoped.
I thought I'd try some romcom in-between some of the heavier stuff I'm reading, but after this experience I'll give up on the genre for the time being. Guess it's not for me!
