Maybe we’re all overthinking it, and everybody just needs someone who wants them to be there.
This is my fifth book by this author and I have loved them all, he is an automatic go-to when I need a laugh or pick me up. Matthew Norman writes about ordinary life with extraordinary characters. I am always invested in his characters and I loved that the romantic partners in this one are on the older side. I appreciated how the sexy time was implied instead of being shoved down your throat. Norman creates situations where you don’t have to be hit over the head to appreciate chemistry.
We get the story from multiple points of view, getting inside each character’s head and their thoughts and feelings. The writing style is so easy to get into that you get sucked into the story. Charm City Rocks is a charming romance that is actually a love letter to Baltimore. I’ve been there many times and the city gets a bad rap, it is so much more than crab legs and crime. I enjoyed how the author used the city as a character in and of itself. And being on the older side I really got into the old music mentioned. This book was really fun and I enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
