I feel so conflicted on this book, because there were quite a lot of elements I really liked but there was also one big thing that I absolutely hated. So I want to say I quite enjoyed this book, but that would be a lie because I don't think I've this passionately hated a part of a book in a while. Life's hard.
Anyway, let's start with the positive. Dreamland is a very obvious Disney stand-in and the author makes no effort in hiding it, but honestly it's kind of fun. Especially because in this book we really focus on the theme park. I thought it was quite a fun workplace for these characters. It gave a reprieve from the typical, boring office job most billionaire romances are set around. I also quite liked Rowan. He definitely was a very typical character archetype for stories like this one, with a very predictable progression, but I do think it was very decently done. I really liked the depth given to the character, and I quite liked seeing him deal with the more difficult family dynamics he grew up in. He's also a likeable asshole. You know? I also quite liked the cast of side characters, and even though we got relatively little from Rowan's brothers I am really excited to read their romances.
My one big negative however is Zahra. Gods, I HATED her with such a burning passion. I just mainly thought she absolutely did not read like a real person. She was so quirky it hurt. She also didn't have a spine. The book portrays her as a badass who knows what she wants but she lets very small inconviences stand in the way of her dream life. It got so incredibly annoying to read. I also found that often her actions stood directely opposed to her inner monologue/motivations, which is just a sign of how incredibly badly written her character was as well. I also felt like she went through 0 developement throughout the novel, and had a bit of a hollier than thou attitude. I was a little annoyed by her at the start of the book, but by the end I hated her so incredibly much that it made my blood boil.
Therefore I also wasn't super invested in the romance. I do think it was decently enough developed, and there were some moments between them that I did quite liked. I don't hate their match completely. It's just that when you absolutely despise one character that makes up the relationship it's really hard too root for said relationship, especially as in the third act conflict I would argue that they both have equal fault, and yet only Rowan grovels and apologises. So yeah, this book wasn't necececarily my favourite, but considering there were enough elements in this that I really enjoyed and I've heard the books only get better, I'm quite excited to continue on with this series.

I really liked this book! It is about two people who work at Dreamland aka a knock off of Disney. There is a family secret involving billions of dollars at stake. I really enjoyed the fact that her sister had a disability. I think that people with disabilities aren’t mentioned enough in popular books so it came as a nice surprise, especially at the end when he proposed that Dreamlands character costumes include prosthetics, wheelchairs, and other types of disabilities.

A great start to a series! Just the right amount of spice to keep it interesting and plot to keep you invested. It can drag on at times and the characters do make you frustrated at times. But in the end it’s worth it.

Tropes:

Opposites Attract, Billionaire, Age Gap, Office Romance

There were so many funny interactions between the MCs. So many good one-liners, can't wait to read their other books!

I'm not a big fan when it comes to Disney World, but I didn't mind the plot being taken place in a similar place.

I love Zahras's character so much. She knows her worth and I loved how the author wrote about her journey overcoming depression.

There's a lot of spice with a good amount of plot, a well-rounded book!

The short chapters make this read super easy to follow & anticipate. A lot of times they make stupid or unnecessary decisions but the characters mean well.
