Review: Everybody’s Favorite Guy by Katherina Center
/About the Book
He’s the last man she ever wanted to see again—or get snowed in with. It’s going to be a rocky reunion in this bittersweet romantic comedy by a New York Times bestselling author.
For Lily, falling in love with her childhood friend Walker was the easiest thing to do back in high school. His sudden rejection was unforgettably crushing. Seven years later, their families have conspired to bring them back together at a cabin in the Rockies when a sudden snowstorm traps them overnight with no power. Thanks to a cozy fire, a prowling bear, and a little forced time in an open-air gondola, they confront their unresolved feelings—and a past more complicated than Lily knows.
Review
I did not enjoy Everybody’s Favorite Guy. Truthfully, I was confused why Walker would even be considered anyone’s favorite person. He had a nasty spirit. He explained his reasoning; however, what he said to Lily was very icky and off-putting. He didn’t grovel for her forgiveness and certainly didn’t want to earn it. And Lily accepted Walker’s apology too quickly. As a result, the relationship between Lily and Walker lacked depth. Their connection didn’t feel as strong or believable as it needed to. I question if they actually wanted to be together or if they were convinced they liked each other because of how badly their moms wanted them together. Additionally, I feel like the majority of this book was characters sitting around and having conversations. Nothing interesting happened.
Final Thoughts
Everybody’s Favorite Guy missed the mark for me. This was not a relationship that I rooted for. It lacked depth and genuine connection. As for the overall story, it felt flat and unengaging.
