Sadie is the optimistic hippy of the three. She is very kind and has a sweet romantic heart. She is that friend of yours that you want to protect in a weird way because you just want her to end up happy. She ends up meeting Austin and they have a whirlwind romance just like the movies. We all know that life, however, is not a movie and the credits are not always the end.
Rosanna..she was more of a complicated character for me. At first I didn’t like her because she felt so judgemental. Not of everyone just people with money. I understand that she was scraping by but it was like she thought everyone that is well off and jerks. Doesn’t matter if they worked hard for it or not. The more she spends time with D and the more we get revealed about her the better I started to understand. I was ready to get up in Nasty girls face to defend her. Of course I can’t understand how she would want to leave Chicago for New York but you know.
I liked Darcy. You would almost expect to not like her because she has unlimited funds. She is actually very kind and generous. She knows what she has but she enjoys using it to make other people feel good about themselves. She has her moments with her temper but she owns up to it and knows she's wrong. I don’t doubt she would go to bat for Sadie and Rosanna even though she hasn’t known them that long.
I’m a big fan of reading a book that has multiple POVs like this that intersect with one another. I think it can be hard to write but City Love is well done. It was easy to keep them separate and come back together in my head.
The book overall is a fun book that takes you through New York City life. I thought it was fun all the places they talk about and explore. It makes me want to go on my own adventure when I’m there in a couple weeks to see the places they talk about. For the most part it’s a fun read but some things take a really interesting turn at the end. Where you are like wait what. This is over already. Where is the second book. I need to know what happens.
