Cute, easy to read summer romance about a screenwriter returning to NYC for script inspo and a tech CEO billionaire that falls in love with her. The banter and the love story were very sweet and the backdrop of NYC was perfect for helping to tell the story. I just didn’t like how obsessed the FMC was with money and hating Parker just for being a rich CEO. It felt a bit forced and was brought up CONSTANTLY.

I wanted to give this more stars, but Elle was just awful. I can understand her trauma and stuff but damn she put Parker through so much
