It started so good, I was completely okay and I even liked it.. and then it all went to shit.
🥲 I struggled so much with the second half of the book, it all became too much for me, it was just a lot of sex and nothing more and it was honestly pretty boring. I tell you: I read the first half in two days and the second half took me TWO WEEKS. I couldn’t DNF the book tho, I owed the book a chance.
🌷 But let’s focus on the positives: this is a forced proximity well performed. The banter was really good, and I liked the tiny bit of fake dating. There’s a lot of cute nicknames (flowers to be precise). And you get to see a huge lovely family for a bit too.
I really tried to like this book, but it just wasn’t made for me I think..
