Review: An Unexpected Love Story (Falling into Happily Ever After) by Ellie Hall

This was an okay romantic comedy. It’s a book centered on Catherine, who makes a plan to go on five days before Valentine’s Day. That plan is quickly abandoned when an old high school crush coincidentally appears back in her life.

It’s a fairly slow book. And most of the time, the dialogue felt stiff or out of place. There was a scene early in the novel where it was a housewarming party and the conversation between the characters didn’t flow well for me nor did it feel like a conversation these types of people would be having.

In addition, there was a lack of depth for the characters. Throughout the book, I never really got a sense of who Catherine was. Yes, she hates her job and has a best friend. What about her drive? Passions? Kellan was the same way. Everything for him was centered around Catherine for the moment his POV begun. It was hard to understand why there was such an attraction for them to each other because that wasn’t presented well.

Final Thoughts:

An Unexpected Love Story (Falling into Happily Ever After) is an okay romantic comedy that lacks comedy and an interesting romance.
