Love at First. By Kate Clayborn. 2021. Kensington (ARC eBook).
Love at First turned out to be tricky because sometimes books just don’t turn out to be your cup of tea, but you don’t easily identify why. The beginning pretty much had me worried about how much more emotionally-stunted, for all appearances, the residents of the apartment building could be. It felt like they were on the threshold of being the next episode of Hoarders. Needless to say, there are a lot of quirky characters, but for the most part, unfortunately, they did not win me over. They were just flat. Buuut...Will and Nora eventually did. Will won me over first. Probably over the commiseration of dealing with said “quirky,” heavily-dependent people. I’ve read several Clayborn books and have enjoyed them a lot, so I figured I’d end up won over and so didn’t set this aside as a DNF. And this book did become more overtime. In a clever, subtle way, it built and evolved and I was rooting for Will and Nora at the end. So, not my favorite Clayborn book but I’ll be looking forward to the more books. Love at First is well executed at the end and it’ll probably be catnip for those that like watching big-billed, hollywood romcoms that always fall flat for me.
