I have so many issues with this book, I have no idea where to start. Also, for the record, I was boiling near the end of the book when they had make up s*x. Just because he went from refusing to not wear cond*m to willing to do it without, means nothing. The female lead took it as him finally trusting her so much. SHE WAS TOUCHED. Are u kidding me???? Yes, I get that he had trust issues because of all the previous women who tried to poke a hole and whatsoever, but this is the stupidest thing to be crying over. What a bloody waste of my time.
I will no longer be trusting people who rated this 5 stars.

I read The Fine Print for a book club and borrowed the audiobook from my library. I’ll start with the good: I liked that there were two narrators, one male and one female. The downside? Each narrator read entire chapters, so we ended up with the female narrator trying to do a deep “male voice” and the male narrator trying to soften into a “female voice.” It felt more like a bedtime story than an immersive romance. If they had stuck to their own perspectives throughout, it would have worked so much better.
The story itself followed a well-worn path. Billionaire with family baggage gets an ultimatum, meets the one girl who dares to challenge him, she falls first, he pushes her away because of his tragic childhood, and finally returns with a grand gesture. Happily ever after follows with marriage, kids, and fade to black. You’ve read this setup before.
In this version, the billionaire is Rowan, the grandson of a theme park tycoon. The theme park is called Dreamland, and I’ll be honest, hearing grown adults fight while repeating “Dreamland” was painful. Zahra, our heroine, is an aspiring designer who accidentally submits a critique of Rowan’s ride. Instead of firing her, he promotes her. Cue insta-attraction, make-outs, and Rowan creating a whole fake identity just to text her. She rises through the design ranks unrealistically fast, they have very vanilla sex scenes, and then the inevitable breakup and reunion cycle kicks in.
The hospital breakup was especially absurd. Rowan decides to dump her while she’s literally sick in bed. His later redemption comes in the form of Christmas gingerbread houses, which somehow wins her back. The epilogue piles on clichés: a spoiled daughter, a doting dad, and Zahra still sass-talking Rowan.
Overall, this was flat, predictable, and honestly boring. I kept wondering why it’s so hyped because there was nothing fresh or memorable here for me.
