#WhatchaReading ? I very much enjoyed What Happens in Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon. It's a trope based plot--reunited first loves, convenient marriage--but doesn't rely on the tropes to do all the work. The characters are believably real & flawed and they grow while falling in love. The descriptions of Amsterdam are so enticing, I want to go there yesterday. And I was a total sucker for playful scenes and romantic symbolism, which just *make* a romance for me.

@lenoreo I may well have been, I did really like it. I'm surprised I didn't notice that, because it's just the sort of thing that drives me up the wall, but it's probably more glaring in audio.
