this is my second time reading this book and i’m sticking with a 4 stars. 

this book is so easy and nice to read, i like how
even though they technically get together early they aren’t really together until much later.
i don’t love chapter
29-33 but that’s just because i hate that books have to have conflict at the end. i just want everyone to be happy and no miscommunication or anything that causes a break/breakup.
but i guess you to have it or whatever. 

can’t wait to read lucy’s book again, i remember really liking that one!

I really enjoyed this book especially seeing both character’s perspectives (anyone who knows me I love a dual POV)! I really liked Olive and seeing her succeed as a bestselling author at just 21 was amazing. Her friendship with Lucy was perfect and I can’t wait to read her story next! As for her relationship with Jason, I loved seeing how she would do anything for him and how her childhood crush still followed all those years later. I liked Jason and it was sad hearing about his family life, however I didn’t get the feeling that he was in love with Olive. I got the impression that he liked her, but not loved her. It felt more of a physical attraction to me. With all that being said, the spice, lust and protectiveness of Jason was amazing!

As for the plot, I really enjoyed it. The marriage of convenience worked well with Jason being seen as a bit of a playboy and it bringing Olive’s book to life as such. I loved the ending of how it finished where their story started but I do wish we saw more of Olive’s family’s reaction to everything that happened though as they were a big focus, at the start especially.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, but just felt some things were missing for me, which is why this is a 4 star reward instead of a 5 for me.

EDIT: 1 star because it’s months later and I can’t get over the r@pe I still think about it and get grossed out.

2,5 I was liking this in the beginning but then it just got creepy and gross and yeah they were very small parts of the book but they were enough to leave a bad taste. I’d give this a 2 but it really was alright in the beginning.

“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 💖
