Definitely one of the worst written books I’ve read in a long time. Sad, because the concept was interesting. And I first thought the grumpy side of things was going to be fun. And the DID representation was cool. But I quickly found myself editing the story in real time. I’m not overly judgmental when it comes to romance book — if it is fun and entertaining, I’ll enjoy it — but this one was so very poorly written. I skimmed a chunk of it and only finished because I wanted to know who did some of the stuff. It was a lot of telling me what to feel instead of showing anything, tons of exposition, overly detailed in parts that didn’t need it and not enough detail in parts that didn’t. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re in the mood for a simply marriage of convenience trope book.
