Scorpio Hates Virgo (Signs of Love, #2)

3.5 stars
I ended up enjoying this a lot, but it took me way too long to get into it so I couldn't give it a full four stars.
It's got everything you love about Anyta Sunday - excellent banter and humor, an adorable and believable slow burn, and a very satisfying ending. I just didn't fall in love with Percy and Cal the way I did with Theo and Jamie. Oh well.
Also, I have to admit it bugs me a little that these books are set in the U.S. The dialogue is SO not U.S. English. I wish she had set it in New Zealand and then I wouldn't be pulled out of the story every time they said something an American just wouldn't say. Like "cheeky." I LOVE the word cheeky, but ppl in the U.S. just don't use it. We don't say "cheeky" here. Sorry. And we don't have lamb kebabs at 4th of July barbecues. Or "onion rolls". I don't even know what an onion roll is. And what on earth is a wheeled basket? They went to the grocery store and couldn't find a cart so they used "wheeled baskets" instead. IDK. The baskets at my grocery store sure don't have wheels. There were a lot of little things like that that added up.

Great review, Nichole! xx I still have to get to the first one, though. :)"
Thank you! It's possible they have those in some parts of the U.S. It's a huge country. But I've personally never seen one.

Oh, and you HAVE to read Leo Loves Aries! It's probably in my top 5.

It's on my bottomless tbr! :) Don't shoot me, but I still have to read a book from her at all. I know, I know, but I'm slowly trying to catch up. ;-)

Great review, Nichole! xx I still have to get to the first one, though. :)
