In the Age of Love and Chocolate by Gabrielle Zevin

17261147
Summary: The third and final book in the Birthright series.

The first book was good, the second okay and this one was just disappointing.

Everything was spelled out in long dialogue or narration that made you roll your eyes from the cheese and bluntness. A lot of repetition. The same things have been repeating for the past three books.  The ending was cheesy. Anya is annoying. She thinks she's grown so much since the first book but really hasn't. Choices she made and then complained about how horrible they were for a hundred pages I didn't understand. They weren't really that bad?? Or bad at all??Also, no world building. At all. Again.

This series confuses me. How can her other books I've read, like Elsewhere and Memoirs of A Teenage Amnesiac (and I've heard nothing but good things about  The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry) be amazing and this not be.
