The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams - Reshelved Books

We're just going to talk about how adorable and amazing The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams. 

As we know, I haven't been exactly shy when it comes to saying that I've read less than stellar books lately.  

This book is the welcome change!!

I had posted a booksagram of this book over the weekend and a fellow book reader had commented on it saying that she was about 40% through the audiobook and totally loving it!  She also said how much she was loving Gavin's character.  

Within the first 25 pages of this book, I was smiling to myself while reading.  I *loved* the interactions between Gavin, Del and Mack.  I thought that they were too funny.  It was so easy to fall in love with Gavin.  From the moment I read about his story with Thea, I was rooting for them.  

I liked the idea behind the story. It was different!  I thought it was cute that this group of guys (who I'm assuming are in their late 20s, early 30s) are looking to romance novels as ways to win back their significant others!  I would have to say that if that happened to me, I would be cracking up. 

I think I've done this before where I've associated a song to a book here.  
Guess what?  
I'm gonna do it again here in this post!

There's this song... It's a country song.  It's super catchy and it's TOTALLY appropriate to this book! 

It's called "Drop" and it's by Dallas Smith.  (If you're interested in hearing the song, you can check it out here!)

Smith starts off the song by singing about everything needs to drop and to come together.  They're in a fight and they need to come together.  But to come together on this raw level, to be with each other and to find each other again. 

I feel like I could see this song playing for Gavin and Thea when they were in the hotel in my head. 

Back to the book - I can't stress to you how much I liked this book. 

But with the likes of the book is met with some dislikes. 

For one thing, I could NOT stand Liv!  She was the antagonist to Gavin's protagonist.  She a lot to say and none of it was really great.  She was so negative.  Some support system she was for Thea... One thing that was interesting, that I wish was elaborated on but was not... was what Liv meant when she said that at least she (Thea) was her mother's daughter.  Maybe that'll come to light in the second book? 

Anyone who's in the market for a new book should totally pick up a copy!

The Bromance Book Club is an 5 coffee beans out of 5.
