If I Never Met You

Solid 3 stars. I really enjoyed it but there were two 11th hour conflicts that really annoyed me. I would've preferred if everything went to shit at about the 70% mark and then we get a slower buildup of the couple reconciling and then living happily ever after. Instead we get a massive conflict bomb that drops 4 chapters before the book ends and then everything is hastily tidied up and there's no epilogue. I wanted to see more of Jamie and Laurie living their happily ever after! Their relationship throughout the novel was 95% pinning (which was great) but that left no room for me to see them just being happy together. And we didn't even get a sex scene! I wasn't looking for smut or anything graphic but if the whole book everyone is talking about what a stud Jamie is supposed to be then I would've liked one scene where we actually get to see the bedroom chemistry between Jamie and Laurie! Also, the book has a lot of very British humor and as an American I found a lot of the banter and references were going over my head.
