This was a fun goofy book that had me cackling at multiple points throughout. It was an interesting premise and I think the author did a *mostly* good job with it.
Unfortunately, it seemed like once it hit around the 3/4 point that the writing started going downhill. I don’t know if they ran out of time or what.
The sex scene(s) were alright, but what kept killing it was how often she said “please” during it. I had to go back and do a search in kindle to make sure I caught them all - she said “please” a whopping SEVEN times, and he said it once. That is bonkers and got really annoying.
The whole third act twist was not only somewhat bizarre, but totally anticlimactic. And I’m all for leaving an open ending if it’s going to be turned into a series, but I thought the ending was kind of lazy/wishy-washy.
So up until that stuff happened, I was totally planning on giving it 5 stars. After the sex scene(s) I thought about knocking a half star off, but after that third act crap I’m knocking it down to 4 stars. It’s disappointing when good books start falling apart at the ends.
I’ll definitely still recommend this to other people bc the humor is fantastic. I just wish they had spent a little more time fleshing out the last quarter of the book.

My favorite part about this book was the notewriting. I love that the chacters get to know each other through little letter they leave each other every day. I also find it super cute that we learn the most about Frederick's character through his journal entries or his correspondence with Reginald and other background characters.
The plot was very simple, and the book was a fast read. Definitely a sweet comfort snack. 🥰
