A grumpy/sunshine workplace romance set in a Disneyland-inspired theme park, this story is equal parts swoony and heartfelt. Rowan’s broody edges meet Zahra’s warmth and creativity, making their chemistry spark from the start. It balances witty banter with deeper themes of ambition, family pressure, and self-worth. A fun, fast read that delivers both fluff and emotional punch.



This one gets the most shit out of the three books in the series, but I loved it. I do wish that I could give it 4.5 stars though. The character development was amazing and I’m such a sucker for grumpy x sunshine pairings.

3.5 stars! This was saccharine levels of cute, especially towards the end of the book. There were a lot of elements I loved, like the whole Disney vibes and Zahra’s sister having Down syndrome (as someone who’s sister has a similar syndrome). I loved the grumpy x sunshine dynamic as well. The sex scenes weren’t boring either and never felt repetitive. Very little angst, which is a complaint for me, but I’m sure others would appreciate. This was pretty solid, albeit cliche, romcom. Also, the audiobook DELIVERS if you decide to go the audiobook route!

A Fairytale with Heart—And Plenty of Feels!

idk this was kinda cringey sometimes. grumpy sunshine trope, but i got kinda annoyed with how much of a ray of sunshine Zahra was. maybe i’m just the grumpy one…

lite för mycket snusk….. tbh annars… och lite för mycket att han skulle ändra sig hela tidenzzz

Rowan sucked for a large portion of this book. 

Also I listened to the audio book and didn’t realize how spoiled I was with duel narrators who voice female and male characters.
