This book had me cracking up from the start!! Storyline started and ended great in my opinion. Very light read to have if you like quick chapters. I'm glad that the ending tied up all the loose ends and didn't leave anything out or confusing. I would say that Gramps is the funniest character of all & he reminds me a lot of my granddaddy's personality

I really liked the premise of this story. I thought it was going to be super cute and I’m sad that it didn’t work out for me. I struggled staying invested.

It’s cutesie and lighthearted. Grumpy / sunshine (love that always). The heroine Dreamy is a badass, driven businesswoman. I liked how quirky and confident she was. There’s definitely some funny and tender moments. The relationship conflict being their large socioeconomic differences in their upbringings and that was brought up a lot.

Karter as a character felt so misogynistic. How he talked about his exes (I get it- but also always a red flag for me when anyone feels the need to trash their exes to new partners) but even how he talked about his sister.

My main issue was the writing. It didn’t flow well to me. Some of the character dialogue felt so cringey. It was like being in the head of a millennial MLMer and it made it hard for me to stay connected to the story.

Not a favorite for me, but I still encourage others to see if they’ll like it.


Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for my e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. Opinions are my own.

Dreamy fully believes she will win the lottery one day. So much so that she knows exactly what she will do with the money. After taking care of her grandfather, she plans to use the rest to start a non-profit that helps women entrepreneurs. When she meets Karter, the wealthy son of a famous actor, they could not be more different. Yet, they somehow fall in love.

This book was a very cute, fun, and low-angst read. I loved how Dreamy and Karter really balanced each other. They each had very complex and interesting backstories that made it fun to see where they came from. Despite their differences I was rooting for them from the beginning. Dreamy’s positivity was so refreshing and made this the perfect escapist read. Her character really made this book special. She was the best kind of dreamer whose optimism was contagious and her bright colorful personality made her the kind of person I want in my life. She wasn’t afraid to be herself and even in her vulnerable moments she felt like a ray of sunshine. This one gave me all the warm fuzzies when reading it!

Thanks to Berkley Publishing for the advanced copy!

This book was a bit disappointing, it was pretty cliche at some parts and not in a good way. Dreamy was kind of cringey, and I didn’t find her to be a likable mc. Everything in the plot felt too convenient :/

This was entertaining. I may just be on a romance burnout but it just didn’t suck me in. But it was still a fun read

I didn't feel much chemistry between the characters. Nor did I care that much about the plot.
