Unfortunately, it seemed like once it hit around the 3/4 point that the writing started going downhill. I don’t know if they ran out of time or what.
The sex scene(s) were alright, but what kept killing it was how often she said “please” during it. I had to go back and do a search in kindle to make sure I caught them all - she said “please” a whopping SEVEN times, and he said it once. That is bonkers and got really annoying.
The whole third act twist was not only somewhat bizarre, but totally anticlimactic. And I’m all for leaving an open ending if it’s going to be turned into a series, but I thought the ending was kind of lazy/wishy-washy.
So up until that stuff happened, I was totally planning on giving it 5 stars. After the sex scene(s) I thought about knocking a half star off, but after that third act crap I’m knocking it down to 4 stars. It’s disappointing when good books start falling apart at the ends.
I’ll definitely still recommend this to other people bc the humor is fantastic. I just wish they had spent a little more time fleshing out the last quarter of the book.

It took me a lot longer to finish than I had thought, but that’s mainly because I found it hard to get into.
I enjoyed the concept of the book. However, I felt that it fell short in its execution.
I could partially relate to the FMC but not enough that I felt invested in knowing more about her or her hobbies ETC. She had a bad habit of repeating herself or actions. “He’s so cold to the touch,” “he’s so attractive,” “placed my hand where his heartbeat would’ve been.” Yes, we get it…
The MMC was more tolerable, but I feel that is basically because the book is written completely in our FMC’s POV.
I did not enjoy the ending, or the last few pages leading up to it.
I feel the author wrote herself into a situation she wasn’t sure how to get herself out of, and it just felt flat. Although the story ties off almost all the aspects of the story, it always just feels like they didn’t all intertwine well with each other, but that may also have been because of my inability to become in invested in the story.
For those who want to know which piece I felt was not tied off please see below:
Overall, not the best but not the worst.
Based off of the writing and storytelling I don’t think I’ll be picking up this author again.

Overall though, this was a cute, entertaining romcom and I had fun reading it!
