My Thoughts on Love Me More Than Books!
"Love Me More Than Books!" promised a sweet escape, and for the most part, it delivered. As a fellow bookworm, the premise immediately grabbed my attention. A romance blossoming around a love for literature? Count me in! However, after diving in, I found myself with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The story starts strong, immediately establishing the female lead's passion for books. The initial setup, an arranged marriage with a prince, felt like a classic shoujo trope, but I was eager to see how the author would put their own spin on it. The promise of a "love interest falls in love first" scenario also piqued my interest. I was hoping for a deep dive into the characters and their developing feelings.
What Works Well
The sheer fluffiness of this story is undeniable. It's a quick and easy read, perfect for when you're craving something lighthearted and sweet. I found the interactions between the leads charming, and there's a certain relatable quality to the female lead's bookish nature. If you're looking for a short and sweet romance without heavy angst or complex plotlines, this might be right up your alley.
Areas of Concern
While the simplicity is a strength, it also contributes to the story's weaknesses. I was left wanting more depth in several areas. The male lead's reasons for falling in love with the female lead felt underdeveloped. It's mentioned he chose her for marriage, but the "why" remains a bit of a mystery. I also felt the story could have benefited from more world-building and background details. The political context of their engagement, while present, wasn't explored enough to feel truly impactful. It felt like there was a lot of potential that remained untapped.

Final Verdict
"Love Me More Than Books!" is a pleasant, albeit brief, romance. It's a fun and fluffy read, especially if you appreciate the bookworm trope. However, its lack of depth and underdeveloped character motivations prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're seeking a lighthearted escape and don't mind a few unanswered questions, give it a try. Just be prepared for a story that prioritizes sweetness over substance.
