I enjoyed the series in general as a fantasy and a silly ronmance to enjoy as just that and usually I don't think too much of the sociopolitical context of it. But the romantization of poverty with the kid as a tool for this grand realisation: "to get a job" and humanice him in general really pissed me off. In Spain (and Europe in general i think) scholarization is mandatory until 16, and kids are forbidden to work in general, you can with special permit but never ever ever nights. We have a social system to protect children from exploitative labour. Do your research if you want to write something outside your capitalism factory of a country.
And the final problem was SO hard to resolve for a millionair: a house in driving distance from the city. Just a stupid problem with a simple solution, I like the drama of a third act breakup but it has to make sense.
Missed the mark with this one even though the premise was the most interesting.

What I loved the most about this book, it was a story over a year and some months, so it was more realistic in the romance department. It also ties off each one of the Miles Brothers’ stories. This one however was one of my favorites. ✈️

Christopher is the youngest Miles brother and has lived a care-free playboy lifestyle his entire adult life. Upon this realization and feeling unsatisfied, he makes a rash decision to take a year long sabbatical and travel around backpacking, starting in Spain. He lives in a hostel and meets Hayden, a farm girl who booked this trip to get over a heartbreak. The two meet and like each other, but struggle to reconcile their differences and form a meaningful relationship.
I really enjoyed this! This was definitely the most lighthearted and funny book in this series and I laughed out loud so many times, especially with all the "Ahh's". As always this was quite long, but I didn't mind. The story was interesting and I couldn't put it down. I liked Christopher and Hayden's journey and how they grew both together and a part. I also loved their relationship with Eddie and that whole aspect of the story. Christopher and Hayden were both solid, well written characters and as always I like how the female stands up for herself. Some of their fights and points of contention were interesting but made sense with the story. It was nice to catch up with the characters from the rest of the books as well (but why SO many children? I found that so weird). As always there were a couple of comments and word choices made by both characters that I didn't necessarily care for, so not a 5 star. But this was funny, entertaining and a good read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.
