Alexandra McCollum’s Into the Midnight Wood
Look, I love a grumpy/sunshine pairing, but this grumpy guy—our only POV character—is legit an asshole, mostly to his love interest, for WAY too long. It was really upsetting to read!!! He takes the other guy’s sunshine-ness away!!! Ok, the premise here is two guys who are roommates in a world with a vague fantasy tinge, and the POV guy can’t stand his adorable quirky roommate, except obviously they secretly love each other. But like, he is so cruel for 75 percent of the book. And then there’s a late miscommunication, my least favorite thing in a romance novel. I don’t know why I kept reading this, except I liked the writing style? I liked the magical bits that kept creeping into the contemporary romance? But I was so mad at this dude!!!! B.
