Role Playing by Cathy Yardley
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
ROLE PLAYING by Cathy Yardley, unfortunately, fell short of my expectations despite an intriguing premise. The concept of two older characters navigating love through online gaming piqued my interest, but the execution left me disappointed. The story's attempt to portray characters in their fifties seemed forced, as their interactions lacked the authenticity of age-appropriate dynamics. The narrative was marred by an overwhelming dose of toxicity, making the reading experience frustrating and uncomfortable. While I appreciated the characters of Maggie and Aiden, and the inclusion of queer representation, most side characters and conflicts felt discarded. The strained family relationships and peculiar dynamics left me questioning the realism of the portrayal. Despite being in the minority, this book, unfortunately, didn't resonate with my expectations for mature romance and social awkwardness. While this book wasn't exactly my cup of tea, don't let that deter you from picking up a copy and forming your own opinion. It has garnered much love from other readers, and you might find it to be a delightful read!#bookstadog #poodlesofinstagram #doodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #RolePlayingBook #CathyYardley #FireflyBooks #MontlakeRomance #RomanceBooks #bookreview
