this story started off slow but the disability representation really sealed the deal for me! it was well done, didn鈥檛 milk it just to further the plot, and invoked the conversation around theme parks and the various accessibility issues surrounding them. 

i thought rowan and zahra got together a little too early in the story, but of course he was going to have to grovel by the end 馃槀馃槀 i鈥檝e heard they only get better so on to terms and conditions!

"I want to see myself like she sees me. Because in her eyes, I don't feel like I'm a man carrying an entire mountain of expectations on my shoulders. I'm just Rowan, the kind of guy who sits on a floor in in a a pair of expensive slacks a eating takeout from a carton and loving every second of it."

Me gust贸 m谩s de lo que esperaba, despu茅s de la mitad me empez贸 a aburrir, pero casi al final otra vez me atrap贸, creo que la parte en la que ya est谩n en una relaci贸n fue lo que menos me gust贸, como que hubo un switch medio raro en los personajes 馃珷

En general su qu铆mica me gust贸 mucho, hasta que supe sus edades (pero fue casi al final), am茅 a Zarah, su familia y amgigos de principio a fin, a Rowan lo am茅 por ratos, a veces me daba cringe jajaja, pero su crecimiento fue bien bonito. 

La disfrut茅 MUCH脥SIMO m谩s que "Twisted love", era imposible no comparar ambas historias porque hay muchas similitudes, en pocas palabras, Rowan fue una versi贸n MUY light y un poco m谩s realista de Alex, y Zarah fue una versi贸n mucho m谩s madura y agradable de Ava. Y lo mejor de Fine Print, es que la historia ten铆a realmente una historia, no s贸lo un relleno para justificar su relaci贸n y problemas.

Am茅 que hubiera inclusi贸n y la din谩mica que aportaba a la relaci贸n de Zarah y Rowan, ojal谩 fuera tan f谩cil cambiar la opini贸n de los millonarios respecto a sus empleados 馃ゴ

"He makes me feel beautiful. Not the superficial kind either, but in a way that makes me proud of who I am. In a way that makes me think he cares about my soul first and foremost."

Ya quiero leer la segunda parte 馃

Honestly my main problem with this book is it took a long time for me to even start liking rowan.

This is not worth the hype. Rowan is actually just a terrible human being. While that terrible does come from major family trauma he treats people poorly and nothing in this book oils be possible without tons of therapy for him. He does turn it around towards the very end, but Rowan sucks. Zahra is awesome, I read the book for her. The romance isn鈥檛 cute it鈥檚 manipulative as hell. 
This is literally just Disneyland fanfic, so it was a pretty easy read. 
Also Armenia is in Europe. Zahra is described as not being white, but also as being the daughter of an Armenian immigrant and someone of European descent. Maybe the author meant Argentinian? But Armenia is Eastern Europe so all of that was confusing as hell.
