The Spanish Love Deception

 5/23/23

We are on to our next book. Now I know that this is a book you either hate or love. There is not in between. I've seen this book all over Booktok and Booktube. There have been so many different  opinions and I'm willing to leave my own. Of course the audiobook I got is a bit monotone but it is what I have for now. The hold wait list for this book at the library is long. It's like a six month wait for the audiobook so the book is still pretty popular. I just know that this is a fake relationship that I think sparks into a real relationship. That is all I can remember about the description of the book. Even with all of the videos with this book in it. I think it's because I usually just fast forward through the description of the books because I like blind reacting to the books. Not knowing anything and coming up with my own opinion. I think that it the best way to give a true review on the book.

I've been listening to this book while doing yard work and other things that need to be around the house. Anyway the only thing I have to say is that our main character is an idiot. She thinks that her and her coworker Aaron hate each other. That they can't get along and all they do is argue. He is actually telling her that he likes her and has feelings for her but she just brushes it off or thinks they are insults. Aaron pretty much knows everything about her because he listens to everything she says. He does this because he likes her. Now why he hasn't flat out said it is a mystery to me. Because our main character is the type of person you have to be very blunt to or she will take it as insult. But I feel like this is going to be a theme in the book until we get to an end and me being completely frustrated with the main character. I'll tell you more about the book once I finish it. Right now I just wanted to vent about the main character being an idiot.

I finished this book right before bed. I think I'm seeing a pattern here when it comes to audiobooks. Anyways, this book was so predictable towards the end. But instead of the guy begging the girl forgiveness with have the girl doing it. Our main female character, Lina, got too much in her head and ruined her relationship with Aaron. She didn't trust him enough to give her heart entirely to him and it back fired. But when she realized that she loved him and wanted to be only with him, she hoped onto a plane and flew to his hometown to confess her love to him. Of course the setting she chose for that wasn't quite appropriate, but I'm glad the author made note of that and included it in Lina's thoughts as she was telling Aaron all of the right words. Of course he didn't put up much of a fight to take her back. I think he was just grateful that she was there with him in a time of need. But the book ends on a happy note. There were parts in the book that made me want to laugh out loud but I tried my best not to. I didn't want to get weird looks from my family for laughing at something they can't hear. Anyways the book got three stars from me. If it wasn't as predictable as it was, I would have probably given it four stars. It's a good book but it just isn't for me.
