This book was so bad I cannot believe I didn’t DNF it. The female lead is insufferable, so annoying and spoiled. The sex is incessant and not in the good way. Also, there was lots of knotting which is just not my vibe. The plot was so slow and detailed for no reason, it could have been SOOOO much shorter. 21 hours of listening was painful, even with me listening on over 2x speed (no I’m not exaggerating).
Also was sooooo disappointed with how much fat shaming was in this book. Candra constantly referred to as the “pudgy” and therefore less pretty and desirable sister was so rude and unnecessary
Top it all off with a pregnancy trope and was so checked out.
Don’t waste your time
