#Backstreet boys i want it that way genre series
From the moment Ty and Nadia engaged in their non-relationship, it felt chapters and chapters of non-events, a series of scenes that contributed very little to the overall plot and development of either protagonists. On the other hand this story was just so unbelievably boring.
I mostly liked how Nadia was portrayed and the smallest details about her father was quite impressive because I found him relatable real to mine. While the plot and premise was rife with potential cliche land mines insta-love (though admittedly there was insta-attraction which I’m not quite as averse to), the return of Sam’s deserter mother, multiple love triangle and cheating opportunities with Max, The Big Misunderstanding, Aguirre pulls a surprise by presenting her characters’ maturity in situations that have been ruined and recycled in so very few, uncreative ways elsewhere in this genre. Their issue is that Ty refuses to engage in any form of commitment because of his predicament and Nadia settles for a Friends With Benefits type of relationship with him, with “half a loaf being better than none” at all.
The romance was between neighbours Nadia, an aspiring teacher, and Ty, the young father to her student, four year-old Sam. On the one hand, this book managed to avoid a lot of the tropes and pitfalls I’ve come to hate about New Adult Contemporary. I’ve first heard of her Razorland series and while that seems to be widely loved by my friends, it’s not named after a Backstreet Boys song so… New Adult it is and hello Ann Aguirre, it’s nice to meet you.
I’m a little confused right now so bear with me as I try to process this book.
