🌟 Marriage in trouble
🌟 Second Chance romance
🌟 Billionnaire romance
🌈 Brazilian heroine
🌈 Dyslexia representation
🌶 Library 👀
I. Loved. This. This was one of those "hammer it in 24 hours" type of books.
Historically, marriage in trouble wasn't frequently worked for me. Second chance, yes. Which seems opposing opinion wise, but I am a fickle creature 🤷♀️
However, marriage in trouble where the problematic partner develops ACTUAL self awareness and takes full responsibility of their partner in the trouble? We stan a self aware King. Even though it took a divorce to actually realise they're the one with the problem 😒
I know people had beef with him signing the divorce papers instead of fighting to get her back first, but I think they're missing the significance of him signing them. He signed them FOR HER. Because he knew that's what she wanted, and what she needed from him in that moment. Sacrifice.
The pining. Ohhhhhh the pining. Mutual, yes. But Alessandra had Dom in knots over her and I loved it. The idiot deserved it after neglecting her, although I do seriously empathise with his reasoning, I refuse to believe anyone would miss all the red flags 😫
You should read this if you love a grovel, you love strong assertive FMCs, and you appreciate a strong redemption arc.
