This is the second accidental Keylo Rey (Reylo?) fanfic romance I read this year. I'm not really even into Star Wars. How does this keep happening?
A fun rom-com, with a supernatural twist that Ms. Poston managed to make as natural as the wind in the trees. Very enjoyable and even some important ruminations about what "normal" is, what it means to be flawed, impossible humans, and of course death.
A couple of small hiccups in grammar, and occasional clarity (I am very picky), but otherwise deftly paced, and the characters and circumstances were quite believable.
The "I'm so rAnDoMm" of books. Jokes that aren't funny, telling rather than showing, quirkiness as a personality. DNF at 71%
Was a firm 1 star, got somewhat better towards the end, so ended up a 2 star.
Nice premise, but I've read better.
