    I’m actually at my wits end!! I struggling with this one so much! I love a good romance novel but I’m dying for this to end. I just can’t connect with any of the characters and the story line feels boring. It’s partly my fault for thinking it was going to be more like sleepless in Seattle.

    Is it just me that feels like this? Also should I stick it out and finish it or do I just move on?

    I must preface this by saying that I do believe that this book is far more than a romance novel, in fact in my opinion it’s best described as a contemporary novel with a romance.

    I feel in love with this book, my favourite part was learning about Margaret and reading all her stories. And in many ways the romance was an after thought, but I didn’t mind that as much as I expected myself to.

    Sure, there were parts that felt rushed and I did find myself wishing that certain parts had been developed more. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m actually looking forward to re reading it (which I never do with Emily Henry)

  • Book you absolutely hate

    There are a lot of questions about book recommendations or favorites, but what is the book(s) you absolutely feel repulsed by whenever you see it?

    Just want to add: i know everyone has their own tastes and that does not mean if one hated the book the other shouldn't has terrible taste, it is the matter of personal opinion. What doesn't sit well with me might be perfect for you :) this is just for fun and to know you all a lot better

    I’ve always been a bit hit and miss with Emily Henry’s books but this one has me hooked already. I love our two main characters I feel like there is a lot to uncover there. But my favourite part so far is learning about Margaret and her stories

  • Do other people also have favourite publishing houses?

    I really really love Verso books. Almost all of my favourite reads were published by them. But this thought made me curious if other people also have publishers they trust enough to buy blindly from. If so which ones and what about their niche draws you in?

    Tell me a little more about yourself

    I'm really interested in learning more about the awesome folks I've connected with on pagebound so far.

    I've interacted with many of you, and while we usually stick to books because it's a common love we all share, but I realized I only know a little about each of you through those conversations. That is totally fine if that is how you'd like to keep things, so no pressure to answer 😊.

    A little more personally about me: I'm a father (mid 30s) of 2 beautiful little girls (3.5 years and 7 months), married to an amazing woman and mother, and we also have 2 French bulldogs 😊.

    I'm currently a software engineer and my primary focus is infrastructure (all the boring stuff that websites like pagebound runs on behind the scenes and serves it all over the world), but I also freelance in web development still since it's where I got my start.

    Fun random fact: I was top 500 in overwatch season 3 🤣

    Super happy to have met everyone and will hopefully continue to meet as this community grows 😊

    Please don't forget to practice good internet safety when answering! 🫣

  • Favourite characters favourite books?

    What do you think your favourite characters top 3 books would be?

    Do you think you’d have similar taste or would it be the complete opposite of you?
