madifn02's review against another edition

lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

1.5

Another basic book where the female main character clearly hates other women and has a lot of internalised misogyny. Uses a lot of “not that kind of girl” type statements and slut shaming. The main love interest, Peter, is unbearable especially SPOILERS——————————
when he literally cheats and lies to her with his EX GIRLFRIEND. And she forgives him still. She just seems very much a pushover and has no depth which is disappointing coming from a female author.
