A little slow for me and definitely not my favourite book. I’ve heard better things about Asher’s Dirty Air series. Still, it was easy and enjoyable and it did make me want to pick up the next in the series.

This book blew up because of TikTok, and I love the new covers, so I decided to finally pick it up and see what the hype is all about.
"The Fine Print" follows dual perspectives of Rowan and Zahra. Rowan's grandfather created and ran Dreamland, the greatest amusement park in the world. He was beloved, and his passing has shaken the Dreamland community. Rowan and his brothers are each given an objective before they can inherit their percent of Dreamland. So grumpy Rowan has to return to one of his least favorite places on Earth, Dreamland, and come up with a plan to improve the park. Zahra is a spunky girl who loves working in Dreamland, but she dreams of being a creator so she can help lead the vision behind the direction the park should go. Unexpectedly, Zahra gets the opportunity to be a creator and share her talent.
I enjoyed this book much more than I expected. I had some idea about what the premise of this story was before I started, but I had no idea it was going to be framed to resemble Disney as much as it was. As a proud Disney adult, I LOVED this! This book felt magical and lighthearted despite the sometimes heavy content matter.
I think Zahra is exactly the type of girl Rowan needed in his life. He is the classic corporate drone that is driven by the bottom line and has lost his spark for life. Rowan is creative and he used to love Dreamland, so watching him come back to his roots and appreciate the good times he had was really wonderful.
Rowan is not exactly the perfect match for Zahra, but he is a good guy deep down that cares about her and treats her well. He does abuse his power and position of authority a little bit, which is questionable, but ultimately it was what Zahra wanted so I suppose it can get a small slide.
I am so excited to continue in this world and see what the next brother does to secure his percentage of Dreamland!

I really liked this one! It was emotional, but funny. Sweet and steamy. I loved the back and forth with Zahra and Rowan, they had chemistry for daaaaays. Zahra had such a big heart! I loved the theme park and the support cast too. Definitely going to read the next two books in the series.
