The Thing About Hug Replacements by Tara Frejas
Homaygaaaaaaahd!!! Tell me there's more, @tarafrejas, tell me, tell me, please! Have pity on this poor piglet, pleaaaaase! 😭😭😭😭
If there's food on the cover and/or food is a (big) part of the story, I'm sold! Saw this from one of @minavesguerra's posts (she's like my #romanceclass pimp or one of my fairy-book-mothers, whichever way you wanna call it 😁) and so I got it. And I'm happy I did! Or am I really? 🤔💭😝
The intro wasn't a bore nor was it entirely catchy for me. It didn't quiet grab me into the book, I didn't dive inside it head first. Instead, I was slowly waddling into the story, acclimating myself paragraph by paragraph, and then I was deep into it and enjoying it! It was a slow burn, the warmth had me smiling then grinning then giggling like a lovesick fool. I love that!
I love the bits and pieces, the little back stories, especially those about the cakes! Ooooooh, I looooooove those! And Kevin! I'm such a sucker for good camaraderie so the Kevin-Sylvie-Aidan trio was so endearing to me. Plus of course, Aidan-Sylvie. Unrequited hidden love between friends, I'm a sucker for that too so of course I like it! Then just when everything was warm and fuzzy within me, the cruel, evil author left me in a cliffhanger. A damned, steep cliffhanger!!! 😡😠😤 Mean, mean, mean writer!! 😭😭😭😭😭I checked Tara's site and books listed there but I can't find any continuation. 😭😭 Somebody please pity this piglet and tell me there's a next book! A longer book with more deets and a better ending! Pleeeeaase!! 🙏🙏🙏
