The Au Pair Affair

3.75/5

“Since we're talking romance and personal relationships, I don't suppose you're willing to comment on the whole Sig Gauthier situation. You know, with his step—”
“That's their story to tell,” Burgess interrupted with a headshake. “Not mine.”

Oh, COME ON!!!

Honestly, when I started reading this book I had NO idea that I would be invested in a step-sibling romance. Come on, I've been avoiding this trope the entire time. But now?? Tessa?? Hello?? What kind of spell did you ou6t on me?? I'm so invested in Sig and Chloe, I NEED their book now!

That being said, their relationship (and Wells and Josephine cameos) were the only things I liked about this book.

Which is a shame, really. I was really excited to read about them when I read The Fangirl Down earlier this year and got to their first meeting. I was fascinated. And then I started reading this book...

When Tallulah refused the position and it looked like she would be moving in with Chloe, I put the book down for 3 days. Because that wasn't the story I was interested in. I picked it up today and it got better, and around. 15% I started annoying it... Up until the 70% when the drama with Lissa happened. And then the third act breakup pissed me off so much, that I wasn't invested in their relationship anymore.

I mean, after the shit Burgess said, I didn't even want him and Tallulah to end up together anymore. Just no. I only kept reading to get more of Chloe and Sig... And I am SO invested in those two, please, Tessa, don't have their parents marry!! I just want them to be together and happy!
