next to the fifty shades of grey, this is the worst book i have ever read.
firstly, the writing style was intolerable. this book was like a wattpad book written by a twelve year old— heck, wattpad books like those might have a better writing style, actually.
secondly, this book romanticizes sexual assault. i’m not going to explain further, but drunk consent is NOT consent. taking your partner’s clothes off while they were asleep is not any better either.
thirdly, the characters were so unlikable. the only trait jason has is being a movie star and calling olive “little one”. he’s blander than mal from shadow and bone. on the other hand, olive is literally the definition of a kid in an adult body. i wanted a sunshine main character, not the whole solar system.
i wish i could tell you that it lived up to the hype, that it’s as beautiful as it sounds in the book’s description. unfortunately, it wasn’t.
(never trusting contemporary romance booktok again lol)

“I wanted to own those secret smiles just as much I wanted to own her beautiful heart. I wanted to be the reason for their existence.” 🥰🥰🥰
This book was so good! The dynamics between Olive & Jason — their chemistry was off the charts! I’ve read some of Ella Maise’s other books and let me tell you — her writing is fantastic! Definitely worth reading 💖
