Love Potion No. 1 by C.S. Jean features a pleasant writing style, but the story itself failed to pull me in. At only 55 pages, there wasn't enough time or depth given to the characters to make me care about them or their relationship, which made the stakes feel non-existent.
The book is labeled as suspense rather than a thriller, which might be why it did not quite work for me personally. It lacks the urgency or tension I typically enjoy, leaving the experience feeling a bit hollow. While it is a quick read, it just was not the right fit for my tastes.
