💫 Book Review 💫
The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson 🇺🇸

Boy meets girl kind of read, but then more drama and underlying twists. A suuuuper fun one - not too cheesy but also the right amount of rom com vibes - (albeit maybe best for a summer or vacation beach) that made me appreciate friendships and real love.

I thought this would be overhyped, but it actually met expectations (or as much as I could expect). Totally fair and an entertaining novel.

I did find the characters (the supporting ones) very sluggish and a little forced (perhaps tried to knock off a bunch of stereotypes) but again, could also see them cast in a tv series drama. A little hard to follow at times (I mean, not really but I should have cared more), with the many side stories and detours along the plot’s way.
The timing worked for me, and the setting was picture perfect (again, for what I expected). Perhaps unbearable at times (sorry not sorry) but those pages flew by and something to be said about that.

I can see the appeal of many enjoying this!

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
