okay tbh!! i had very big expectations for this book. it was. like. okay? so it wasn’t ALL bad. the book had a rlly good concept that could have been executed real good! but it wasn’t. idk man. it just felt like it was being dragged out? and when u got to the ending like what was that ending. everything seemed to turn on its head, and everything was positive for brinkley!! like? what? also what was that name… genuinely. anyway we won’t ponder too much on names bc girl. i genuinely thought i was reading a wattpad book w the whole execution. the only rlly likeable character was mark and then what did sonia do at the end??? ruined him. like. the relationship to me honestly made little sense? like i was rooting for mark in the beginning but then he just turned up out of nowhere which made. no sense. let him live his life. and the whole PLOT lord. there was drama but it was "drama". like. one min they hating each other n the next they kissing? like huh? it was very confusing n tried to move way too fast.

This books plot instantly intrigued me, a company that specializes in getting revenge on men? It gave major spy/secret agent vibes so I had to read it.
Overall, the plot with the company was honestly really interesting and I really enjoyed the main character, Brinkley (however, I do no love her name). But, I found myself wanting more on the Heartbreak for Hire company & Margo herself. I found a lot of it to be hard to believe, which it’s fiction so I get it, but at the same time I just wanted more. That and I just greatly disliked Margo and wish we knew more about her motives. She just seems sketchy and there were a lot of things I didn’t like about her and only felt maybe 2 were even slightly addressed. However, the assignments themselves were really fun to read about, even if they were outlandish.
I loved Mark and how they meet. Him becoming her coworker after being her target was fun to read about, especially after their original encounters. I loved the banter & jokes between Mark & Brinkley and overall just found them a fun couple to read about. And the spice!??? I had no idea this book had any sort of page so when I got only 30 pages in I was surprised, but I thought it was well done and rate the overall spice level in the book to be a 2/2.5 🌶
Overall I enjoyed reading this and felt it to be a pretty solid read. There were a few things here and there I didn’t love, but it’s still a good book and a pretty light & quick read!

im fluctuating between 3.75 and a 4
i obv liked the premise, im all for the man eating gigs. i also loved how that path panned out for everyone involved.
im kinda iffy about the parts towards the end bec it was going too fast?? BUT the conclusion was solid for a standalone. u cant possibly tie up every loose end if it's just one book
