KnitAFett reviewed The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite

Olivia Waite: The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics (Paperback, 2019, Avon Impulse)

As Lucy Muchelney watches her ex-lover’s sham of a wedding, she wishes herself anywhere else. …

Disappointingly meh.

2 stars

This one was pretty close to being a DNF for me. I had a hard time connecting to the characters at all because the romance just felt rushed and forced. It contains the love at first sight, third act breakups and miscommunication tropes. It had a lot of potential for being a sapphic regency romance, but it just did not hit any of the marks for me.

Also, I do not recommend the audiobook for this one. The voices from the narrator were pretty off-putting.

@picklish Yea, it was a bit of a letdown. I mean, for someone just starting to get into sapphic romances, I think it would be ok. I was also really surprised because with the premise and title pushing the astronomy aspect, there wasn't as much of that, either. I would have enjoyed it more if the romance or astronomy aspect had been more thoroughly woven into the story, but it feels like this book was just a victim of trying to do too much.
