Gwen and Art are Not in Love by Lex Croucher-Book Review

I read an eARC of Gwen and Art are not in Love by Lex Croucher. Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martins Press.

This book tells the story of the people who are descendants of King Arthur a few generations down the line. Long enough that Gwen and Arthur are promised by their parents to each other. Only problem? They hate each other. Of course, that doesn’t stop their parents from planned to marry them off together by the end of summer and the tournament that is taking place. One night, they realize the other one is gay, and then on the promise of blackmail, they decide to pretend they are getting along together and act decently to each other.

This is an interesting story in a very predictable sort of sense. A book that felt comfortable to read and didn’t push any boundaries of this sort of story. A comfort read. It has pining. Self-discovery, and a dash of adventure.
