This was very sweet and had a wonderful premise. If you're looking for something steamy or diverse, this is neither. I liked the personalities of the characters.

This was such a great premise that was completely ruined by turning all of the antagonists into ridiculously evil people and trying to redeem them in like two seconds as well as using the miscommunication trope far too many times. I wanted to smack the main character many times because she was just being so dumb.
Her family was made out to be comically evil and uncaring towards her, but then suddenly her sister gains a conscience because she got dumped?? It doesn’t even make sense, nor does it actually redeem her character at all.
In conclusion, would not recommend at all. This book could’ve used a lot of cutting of characters and reworking of scenes.
