Queen B’s Decree: Freely admit that I did not finish Ten Years.
The premise wasn’t really my favorite trope, but I was open to trying a new author. Ally, Becca’s best friend and Charlie’s fiancé dies from cancer, and every year thereafter the two complete Ally’s bucket list. Becca and Charlie seem to hate each other, and the interactions between them certainly feels that way.
I just didn’t like them. Becca seemed like a mess of a human, and Charlie felt rude for no apparent reason. Although really? Both of them were uber mean to each other. Honestly this book should have been marketed more as fiction, focusing on the grieving process rather than a romance, as a romance between these two feels very contrived.
And since my 2022 New Year’s resolution is to feel free to stop reading books I don’t enjoy, I quit Ten Years.
