Gay Arthurian fake dating with a dash of political intrigue for seasoning.

No rating

This was okay! I mean, I had fun. I think my biggest disappointment was that the romance felt oddly lacking? Gwen and Bridget seem only barely connected by mutual attraction, and Gabe treats Arthur like a bug most of the time. It’s all very cynical and a bit too tongue-in-cheek for my liking.

Some of the humor is fun, and other times it feels painfully forced. It’s very YA in how it reads, which is fine! Just not my preference.

Review of 'Gwen and Art Are Not in Love' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I really wanted to like this one. The premise sounded fun and the writing style was inviting, but I just couldn't bring myself to care for any of the characters. Gwen and Arthur are so whiny and one-dimensional that I didn't care about their fates or budding relationships. I was also hoping for more Arthurian legend content, but it was more name dropping than anything else. Overall, I'm disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC.
