I don't know how I missed reading this. I thought this was a good book and I had a good time reading it.

This was sweet, with cameos from Evie and Sebastian.

It was lovely reading about the man who everyone wants having to convince someone to be with him in spite of all his flawlessness. Gabriel was sweet, patient, and willing to compromise; something that felt necessary when matching someone with Pandora. I did feel he bended a little too easily to have her, but I found it easy to understand his draw to her, rather than just some bodily instinct he couldn't deny.

On the other hand, Pandora was so different from the other FMCs. With poor urge control, voiced inappropriate thoughts, yet an ability to understand and forgive others beyond the norm, I found her a fun and refreshing read.

4.75

4,75 because of the needless stress it gave me when the romance was already all nicely tied up. Also maybe donā€™t put the entire summary of the book on the back of said book? Lol. It was romantic BUT not more than Chasing Cassandra (to me) I loved this in the way that I loved the characters but because Iā€™m not as awesome and independent as Pandora I didnā€™t relate to her as much as I could still it was AMAZING and so sweet

Besides that I really loved this book. I instantly figured out that Pandora had ADHD. Gabriel was so hot and not just in the physical sense because duh Sebastian and Evie are his parents. He was really kind and understanding to all the fears Pandora had about marriage. Also was very much willing to do the right thing even though he didnā€™t actually ā€˜ruinā€™ her or know her yet. Gabriel is literally the perfect type of jealous you want to see in a romance novel, he feels jealous but heā€™s not controlling or makes a whole ordeal out of it.

Besides the romance this book was feminist AF and I loved all the support Pandoraā€™s family were giving her on the subject of her not wanting to be married and starting her own business.
