Elle ♡ [semi-hiatus]'s Reviews > Falling for Irish

3 stars, for a super quick novella this was fine. Novellas are hard to get right because you have to squeeze a fully developed story into a shorter page count and this one didn't totally work for me.

I found the set up weird because we're dropped into the story after the characters have been broken up for 2 months and they had only been dating for 3 months before that.
*Spoilers* Pre-break up they were essentially living together, he was planning to propose and already bought a ring, but when she broke up with him he didn't go to extreme lengths to really figure out why and she didn't tell him the real reason which she acknowledges later was dumb.
So it was very insta-love which I can be on board with, but I didn't believe in their love because we didn't see the build up we were just told how they felt about each other.

I spent the beginning of this book just confused about why they broke up, what the hell was going on, etc. The plot was trying to be very mysterious with hidden enemies, but it was pretty obvious to me who the big bad was.

Idk like I said this was fine for a quick read, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. I just picked it up to because a novella was the perfect length to read today before a new release I'd been waiting for came out at midnight😅
