Mixed Signals by Mia Heintzelman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
“Serendipity was the only way to explain it. Like she was finally in the right place at the right time. When her eyes had met his, it was like luck was finally on her side. And then it was gone.”

β Read if: you are looking for a quick, light romance read.
Mixed Signals was definitely promising. But after the clever blurb and the cute cover, there is nothing else to offer.
It is a story that has been told time and again, with a main character that is a little bland and boring aside from the times when she is mean. The story also focuses on hating other women, too, which should not be a thing anymore.
The push-and-pull in this thing was so intense and prolonged, it’s all the book had to offer. A bit mindless and weirdly plotted aside from the MCs pining, self-questioning and double taking every few pages.
I mean, I enjoyed it still because it was light and quick to read. I appreciate that since I had limited time to read this past few days.
Author must work on plotlines and character development, should she continue this series.
