The Love Haters by Katherine Center ⭐⭐⭐💫 Bethany's Review: I love KC's books; they are always a feel-good go-to read for me. This one, unfortunately may have been my least favorite of hers. The Rom-Commers and The Bodyguard I absolutely loved, I wish this story would have been a bit more like those. Katie Vaughn, takes a job as creating a video profile of “Hutch,” a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. I did not really feel the chemistry between Katie and “Hutch”. I wanted it. It just was not there. The amount of body image issues Katie expressed throughout the entire story was contrasted with the ”perfect man.” Ugh, there is not a perfect man. Why do women compare themselves to this? I did love Aunt Rue as a side character. She seemed like a lot of fun! The writing was entertaining and I did enjoy reading, I just was not as connected with this one as others that I have read from KC. I did listen to the audiobook and LOVED the narrator. Sara's Review: This was a quick and easy read. It kept me entertained and I enjoyed the storyline. However, I felt that the romance part of the book was forced. The chemistry and banter were not felt through words, making it hard to connect to their relationship. It felt like Katie, the MC, was looking for perfection in herself, her life and in a relationship, which is incredibly unrealistic. The characters were just blah, which I think is my issue with the book. I just didn't love any of them. There were heavy topics in this book that I think should have been given more seriousness - body image issues, grief, infidelity... They were mentioned often and front and center in the book, but there was no depth to the conversation surrounding them. Overall, the book was fine. It moved quickly, I enjoyed the plot, but I wanted more from all the characters. I am a huge KC fan, so it is very possible that my expectations are unreasonable! If you are looking for a quick summer read, try this, my opinion is not a popular one! LTKFindsUnder50 LTKSummerEdit LTKSeasonal
