I don't like writing bad reviews but I feel like I want to share my thoughts on this one.

Before I started reading this book I've only heard good things about it, so I guess because of that I kind of had big expectations and it did not meet them... ? I don't know what I expected really, but whatever I did, I did not get.

First of all, I did not feel any tension between the two characters, just awkwardness most of the time. There was also no chemistry between them and for me the characters felt pretty bland, nothing too special about them and Jack is one of the few MMC's I did not "fall" for.

Second of all, the chapters were waaayyy too long and I feel like the part where she gets sick should've not been part of the story because it gets the book more towards drama not romance.

However, I'm not saying this book is bad, I'm saying it is not for me, I did not connect with the characters and their story. Despite that, I do appreciate the work the author and everyone put in making this.

This is an amazing book if your into slow burn, grumpy, sunshine, and marriage of convenience . I would 100% recommend this book.

4.5 stars

The amount of plot in this was so low, I'm not sure how it got stretched to 500 pages.

But wow, I am deeply impressed by the author's ability to avoid romance clichés. There were so many moments where I thought I knew what the characters would do, but instead, they surprised me by acting like real people. They actually talked about their issues??? They openly decided to date when they fell for each other, instead of blindly convincing themselves it was "just a fake marriage"??? Despite all that, I'd once again guessed the plot twist, which took away from the reading experience.

Loved Jack! What a man

Writing read like fan fiction. I could have read it for free.
