What did I just read?
Author Stephanie Perkins calls Overdue
a sweet
and swoony romance for adults. Riddled with pronouns, accented with unnecessary
profanity, populated with an array of DEI characters including homosexuals, trending
woke, and strutting king-sized liberal viewpoints, this is an over-long slog
about a 29-year-old woman who has to decide if she wants to marry her long-time
boyfriend by dating others for a month. Then two months. Then three months.
Romance? Think again.
I thought I requested a
cute little romance in a library setting. Disappointed.
Ingrid Dahl has a
chance to move up and actually have a career by going to library school for
FREE! She is already working at the library and turns down a remarkable chance
for free education. Distracted by this game of let’s date around before getting
married although we have been together for 11 years, she is decidedly immature.
I deserve a prize for
sticking with this mess until the very last word.
This book is Stephanie
Perkins’ departure from writing young adult romances
and YA horror novels. Born in South Carolina, she lives with her husband in Asheville,
North Carolina.
My review will be posted on Goodreads starting July 29,
2025.
I would like to thank St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in return for an objective
review.
