I am a really slow reader and I read this entire book in one week. This book is everything I could want and more. This book had me laughing, crying, and was impossible to put down. I probably never shut up about this book, I absolutely loved every second of reading it.

This book blew up because of TikTok, and I love the new covers, so I decided to finally pick it up and see what the hype is all about.
"The Fine Print" follows dual perspectives of Rowan and Zahra. Rowan's grandfather created and ran Dreamland, the greatest amusement park in the world. He was beloved, and his passing has shaken the Dreamland community. Rowan and his brothers are each given an objective before they can inherit their percent of Dreamland. So grumpy Rowan has to return to one of his least favorite places on Earth, Dreamland, and come up with a plan to improve the park. Zahra is a spunky girl who loves working in Dreamland, but she dreams of being a creator so she can help lead the vision behind the direction the park should go. Unexpectedly, Zahra gets the opportunity to be a creator and share her talent.
I enjoyed this book much more than I expected. I had some idea about what the premise of this story was before I started, but I had no idea it was going to be framed to resemble Disney as much as it was. As a proud Disney adult, I LOVED this! This book felt magical and lighthearted despite the sometimes heavy content matter.
I think Zahra is exactly the type of girl Rowan needed in his life. He is the classic corporate drone that is driven by the bottom line and has lost his spark for life. Rowan is creative and he used to love Dreamland, so watching him come back to his roots and appreciate the good times he had was really wonderful.
Rowan is not exactly the perfect match for Zahra, but he is a good guy deep down that cares about her and treats her well. He does abuse his power and position of authority a little bit, which is questionable, but ultimately it was what Zahra wanted so I suppose it can get a small slide.
I am so excited to continue in this world and see what the next brother does to secure his percentage of Dreamland!

I hated Rowan so much. He doesn’t treat employees as people. Zahra apologies when her family mentions that they can’t afford vacations because of him which made me really dislike her judgement. Him changing was solely for the selfish desire to have Zahra, not for actual growth. Did not like this one.
