🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I'm kind of in love with this play on pride and prejudice/beauty and the beast/Disneyland inheritance parallels. Low-key in love this slow burn ❤️‍🔥 and how zarha keeps me on my toes as much as she keeps Rowan. This was a great, fast-paced and easy read, and I've fallen in love with Dreamland as much as the people in the book have too.

It's been awhile since I've wanted to reread a book like this. The Fine Print is a must for Disneyland+romance lovers.

I read Declan's story first and was impressed by Lauren Asher but I love Rowan and Zahra's story more. I became so invested in the characters that if Rowan wasn't going to be with Zahra I would.

Rowan is the morally grey book boyfriend we all want. Meanwhile, Zahra is the opposite. Opposite from grey... I mean. She is equally a wanted book girlfriend. Her character is smart, brave, and fun. Sooo much fun.

Zahra's sister, Ani,stole my heart. Ani has down syndrome and she's every bit "ridiculously amazing" as Zahra. Ani inspires the reconsideration of accessibility for entire Dreamland, which we love love.

The plot of The Fine Print is captivating.
The characters of The Fine Print are charming.
The spice of The Fine Print is steamy.

Five stars!

This book by Lauren Asher was my first venture into the world of "new adult" novels, and I must say, it was a pretty good introduction. While the book had its flaws, I found it to be an enjoyable read overall.

One aspect that stood out to me was the likability of the story as well as its characters. Albeit, Zahra might have gotten on my nerves one too many times because she's too sunshine-y in a way that feels humanly impossible. Despite the occasional cringy and cheesy lines, I found myself genuinely liking the book. The plot was engaging, and the characters had a pretty good sense of humour, which kept me invested in their journey.

However, one of the main issues I had with the book was the pacing of the romantic development between the two main characters, Zahra and Rowan. It felt frustratingly long for Zahra to notice or realize Rowan's feelings for her. And vice versa. This aspect of the story could have been handled more effectively, as it created some moments of impatience and detracted from the overall enjoyment.

Nevertheless, "The Fine Print" remained a readable and enjoyable novel with an engaging writing style that left me impressed.
