Boring, nothing happens, not enemies, no build up, no character development, can't really tell the difference in POVs, would even be fine as a cozy workplace romance about a high end wedding venue, but doesn't even really flesh out the setting

DNF 50%
CW: anti-sex worker slurs, classism, former bullying, cancer (referenced), death of a parent (mentioned).
The writing was strong and the relationship dynamic was intriguing, but I couldn’t get past the FMC’s internalized classism. While I can relate to the struggle with having been “trailer trash,” it’s more suited to a younger (teen, college student) character. It’s also never really challenged. If anything it’s supported by the heavy emphasis on the lead characters’ higher education and the “redneck” neighbors being used for comic relief. It feels like the FMC’s “poverty” (honestly, owning the trailer outright is a privilege) exists to show the MMC’s a “good guy” because he doesn’t care.
This could be completely removed from the story and have no real impact on the characters or their relationship, much less the plot which is paper thin.
Meh.
