I quite liked this book. It was quite slow I thought like near the start to the middle but the end was fast paced which I liked. I like the epilogue and the fact it had a extended epilogue loved that. I liked the grumpy and sunshine trope. Loved how it gave you both pov. The character were all great

I really liked this one! It was emotional, but funny. Sweet and steamy. I loved the back and forth with Zahra and Rowan, they had chemistry for daaaaays. Zahra had such a big heart! I loved the theme park and the support cast too. Definitely going to read the next two books in the series.

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.

3.5 out of 5 stars
CW: grief, depression, cancer, death of parent, past verbal abuse by parent, alcohol abuse
So, I saw a review that said that this is a good book for you if you are a Disney adult and I have to agree. Rowan was pretty much a jerk in the beginning. You were able to see that he preferred to shove his emotions down and ignore them from the beginning of the book. Zahra made him feel all sorts of things and see all sorts of things that he wasn't ready for. We learned that Rowan learned to hide his feelings and do things to gain acceptance and approval from his father. I thought it nice that he listened to Zahra about the issues that the general employees had but also went out and talked to them himself. I liked Rowan's presentation. I think it was just the right sort of grovel for Zahra. I liked how Rowan and Zahra were together but I saw how the closer they got Rowan got more frightened of that closeness. This was a good read, but I wasn't blown away.

"I want to see myself like she sees me. Because in her eyes, I don't feel like I'm a man carrying an entire mountain of expectations on my shoulders. I'm just Rowan, the kind of guy who sits on a floor in in a a pair of expensive slacks a eating takeout from a carton and loving every second of it."
Me gustó más de lo que esperaba, después de la mitad me empezó a aburrir, pero casi al final otra vez me atrapó, creo que la parte en la que ya están en una relación fue lo que menos me gustó, como que hubo un switch medio raro en los personajes 🫠
En general su química me gustó mucho, hasta que supe sus edades (pero fue casi al final), amé a Zarah, su familia y amgigos de principio a fin, a Rowan lo amé por ratos, a veces me daba cringe jajaja, pero su crecimiento fue bien bonito.
La disfruté MUCHÍSIMO más que "Twisted love", era imposible no comparar ambas historias porque hay muchas similitudes, en pocas palabras, Rowan fue una versión MUY light y un poco más realista de Alex, y Zarah fue una versión mucho más madura y agradable de Ava. Y lo mejor de Fine Print, es que la historia tenía realmente una historia, no sólo un relleno para justificar su relación y problemas.
Amé que hubiera inclusión y la dinámica que aportaba a la relación de Zarah y Rowan, ojalá fuera tan fácil cambiar la opinión de los millonarios respecto a sus empleados 🥴
"He makes me feel beautiful. Not the superficial kind either, but in a way that makes me proud of who I am. In a way that makes me think he cares about my soul first and foremost."
Ya quiero leer la segunda parte 🤗

Honestly, this book was just ok. 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. If you know, you know. I am continuing the series to read Declan’s story. He secretly sounds like a hopeless romantic.
