   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Sassyjd32 | Dec 22, 2023 |   Actual Rating: 3.5 This is tagged “clean romance” on Goodreads which is actually right up my alley. If you’re like me and like romance that’s more subtle and conversational as opposed to physical, I really think this one will be enjoyable! Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other follows Brynn, a morning show host who is forced to return to her little middle-of-nowhere hometown after an embarrassing on-air mishap. There, she meets Sebastian who turns out to also be a famous journalist who had suddenly and mysteriously went off the grid. Now he’s a beloved member of Brynn’s old community — and they can’t stand each other. I think the plot is actually really promising. It reads a lot like a classic rom-com where the big city girl goes to a small town and meets someone there. The way Brynn’s incident kicks off the story is embarrassing (in a fun way) and believable, and the ways in which she butts heads with Sebastian also makes perfect sense as we learn more about their backgrounds. As much as I love a good slow burn and enjoyed the subtle romance, I do think it resulted in some pacing issues; specifically, 80% of the book are the main characters clashing (with a few warm moments in between) and the jump to the 20% of them feeling a little too sudden. I also noticed that there were some plots I really liked, some I wanted to see more of, and some I just didn’t care that much about. I really liked Brynn’s initial plot but it started feeling less important. I didn’t care that much about the town’s argument over Township Days and felt like the end result was a little underwhelming. But I really wanted to know more about Brynn’s past with her mother, which would’ve really taken the depth of this book a step further. The characters are just developed about 70% of the way, I think. As a rom-com it’s not necessary to make everything really emotionally harrowing, but I think it would’ve helped the connection between Brynn and Sebastian go deeper than realizing the other person “isn’t that bad” before they officially got together. Overall, I do think this is a standard rom-com; it’s fun and cute and a pretty quick read. Once again, it is “clean” — so for those TikTok girlies who like smut in your contemporary romance it might be too subtle, but for me it was great.

She's a sunny morning-show host. He's a cynical ex-reporter. They're destined to hate each other . . . Aren't they? Brynn Cornell has to be stuck in a nightmare. Just last week, she was riding high as cohost of the popular morning show Sunup. She's America's Ray of Sunshine-the girl-next-door beauty who drives up TV ratings while never exuding anything but her trademark positivity and poise. All it took was one huge on-air mistake to expose her snarky side to the world and make it all come crumbling down. Now she's back in her hometown of Adelaide Springs, Colorado, in a last-ditch attempt to convince viewers she's not the mean girl they think she is. All she has to do is apologize and capture some feel-good footage reminding everyone she's just a girl from humble beginnings who's grateful for her big break, and she might manage to preserve both her career and her image. But this town holds painful memories that she's not ready to face. Sebastian Sudworth was on the fast track to the journalist hall of fame. A superstar reporter with a reputation for being in the center of the action, his fearless, relentless coverage of major events around the globe was winning him awards and accolades-until something snapped inside him and he vanished from the scene under mysterious circumstances. Sebastian sought refuge in tiny Adelaide Springs, working odd jobs and trying to blend in as a scruffy mountain town citizen. When Sebastian is assigned to chauffeur Brynn around town, Brynn is sure he can see right through her carefully cultivated, sunny persona. But she's determined to do what it takes to maintain her image and save her career-so she'll just have to charm the socks off Sebastian the same way she charmed her viewers. Easier said than done. It's no picnic to play nice around someone you hate . . . especially when you might be crazy about them. - Parks and Rec meets The Morning Show in this stand-alone enemies-to-lovers rom-com - Also by Bethany Turner: The Do-Over and Plot Twist - Includes discussion questions for book clubs.

The characters are easy to like, especially Sebastian! He's hunkalicious!! It took me a while to like Brynn, but she's awesome!
Adelaide Springs is definitely somewhere I'd like to visit!
This is a story of forgiveness and second chances! A definite must read!! (
