Was "honey-bunny" ever a thing that people said? Seriously?

This is the second “meant to be” book I’ve read, and i feel like for a book about an editor it could’ve really done with another round of editing. Theres places where the writing switches sizes randomly, we’re missing page breaks, there were storylines that could’ve been delved into further and others that felt a bit needless. Its a very slow slow build and for me, it read too fanfiction we don’t see enough of a character and have to fill in using the source so the romance felt a bit out of nowhere. There were points in this book that were so cheesy and cute but like many have said there are big bits that fell flat. I wish there were more well thought out references to the original plot, i felt like some of them were a bit forced, like the tea shop name and Izzy’s borderline mental illness of hearing the furniture talk to her 😆 I know it was probably difficult to adapt but i loved “Tangled up in you” so much more. Minor spoilers:
I wouldve loved to see more of their day on the beach learning to surf, or even see more of Beau’s back story and memoir. I thought it would be really sweet seeing Izzy and Michaela go shopping together and then we didnt really even see it. Back to the library we went 👉 It just felt underdeveloped which is a real shame because i was looking forward to this. (Buddyread with @aleeshamcnair)

coming to the awful realization that maybe i do hate fun sometimes. i don’t like these vibes. i need to do some soul searching or something.
