I originally DNF-ed this book- it was my first JTG book and I just wasn’t used to her writing style but I decided to give it another try after reading (and enjoying) some of her other books. I gotta say I still kind of stand by my DNF.
There were parts that I enjoyed- I loved that this was like a dark You’ve Got Mail (which is my favorite movie) I just don’t think it was executed very well. The MMC was just too much to the point where I could feel myself going into introvert shutdown mode like he was draining my battery and he’s not even real!
Like all JTG books, I loved the FMC and the banter. The spice was good but again just kind of too much? The master shit was a major ick. So was the Harry Potter stuff at the end I almost DNFed again at that point. I’m gonna keep reading JTG this one was just a miss for me.
