At the 50% mark, I wanted to DFW this book but damn I’m glad I stayed with it. Although I didn’t like the MMC, Rowan, at all in the beginning, he really had a massive character glow up in the second half of this book. I was so grateful he evolved instead of having the author rationalize or excuse his shitty behavior. He was down bad for Zarah and the epilogues gave him the final developments he needed. Also, His groveling was more than just a single apology or brief grande gesture. Given that “show versus tell” was an ongoing theme, I loved how he ultimately won Zarah back and make it count for so many people besides the two of them.

There were touching beautiful moments that had me head over heals swooning for Zahar and Rowan. And there there were moments like in Chapter 51 that had me rolling my eyes because of what came out of the character’s mouth. Overall, it was a cute read. Probably one of my favorites of the series.

5.0

The perfect lighthearted rom-com in 1 book. While everyone knows how these stories end, Lauren Asher keeps it fresh and modern by putting Zahra in a position of power that she would have had regardless of Rowan’s involvement. Lauren also adequately mentions a lack of diversity among amusement parks for people with disabilities. All in all, this may be a new favourite comfort read.

3.5

The three stars is for the diversity and representation of the book and the .5 star is for Zahra and Rowans relationship. I didn't like them as a couple. Zahra deserves way better than him. She had her own faults but for the most part, it's all on Rowan. He was a prick for 90% of this book. I didn't and don't like him at all. There's grumpy heros but he was just an asshole. I did enjoy the concept of this story but overall this just wasn't a favorite. No hate to the author though,it just wasn't for me.
