THE GOOD: The second half was much better than the first. I loved Gemma's roommates and the banter and texts between Gemma and Tansy. And I did laugh quite a bit.
THE BAD: This was my least favourite of Alexandria's books. I think this was my first time reading a book with the marriage of convenience trope and I wasn't a fan of it. I also don't like that this is written in third person. The beginning felt too far-fetched and insta-lovey for me but then the story turned into a slow-burn and could have been about 100 pages shorter. None of the characters are particularly likable either. I hated Katherine for 90% of the book and Tucker is an asshole. The glitter aftermath (IYKYK) was underwhelming. And, I hate this cover. 🙈
