The Horrible Cruz
A Disappointing 'Hate to Love' Romance: My Take on 'The Ugly Cruz'
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm a sucker for 'hate to love' romances, but unfortunately, 'The Ugly Cruz' didn't quite hit the mark for me. The cover art is bright and cheerful, perfect for a lighthearted summer read. The book itself is 12x20 cm, and the paperback is well-bound - I was impressed by the quality of the paperback. However, the story fell flat for me, and I found it hard to connect with the characters. If you're a fan of the genre, you might still enjoy it, but for me, it was a total letdown. I was expecting a more engaging storyline and characters that I could really root for.
