"I want to see myself like she sees me. Because in her eyes, I don't feel like I'm a man carrying an entire mountain of expectations on my shoulders. I'm just Rowan, the kind of guy who sits on a floor in in a a pair of expensive slacks a eating takeout from a carton and loving every second of it."

Me gustó más de lo que esperaba, después de la mitad me empezó a aburrir, pero casi al final otra vez me atrapó, creo que la parte en la que ya están en una relación fue lo que menos me gustó, como que hubo un switch medio raro en los personajes 🫠

En general su química me gustó mucho, hasta que supe sus edades (pero fue casi al final), amé a Zarah, su familia y amgigos de principio a fin, a Rowan lo amé por ratos, a veces me daba cringe jajaja, pero su crecimiento fue bien bonito. 

La disfruté MUCHÍSIMO más que "Twisted love", era imposible no comparar ambas historias porque hay muchas similitudes, en pocas palabras, Rowan fue una versión MUY light y un poco más realista de Alex, y Zarah fue una versión mucho más madura y agradable de Ava. Y lo mejor de Fine Print, es que la historia tenía realmente una historia, no sólo un relleno para justificar su relación y problemas.

Amé que hubiera inclusión y la dinámica que aportaba a la relación de Zarah y Rowan, ojalá fuera tan fácil cambiar la opinión de los millonarios respecto a sus empleados 🥴

"He makes me feel beautiful. Not the superficial kind either, but in a way that makes me proud of who I am. In a way that makes me think he cares about my soul first and foremost."

Ya quiero leer la segunda parte 🤗

I read a lot of reviews that were negative about this book but I loved it. I’ve just finished reading a heavy book series so this is exactly what I needed to keep me out of a slump. It kept me smiling from start to finish. Can’t wait to read more of this series

There were touching beautiful moments that had me head over heals swooning for Zahar and Rowan. And there there were moments like in Chapter 51 that had me rolling my eyes because of what came out of the character’s mouth. Overall, it was a cute read. Probably one of my favorites of the series.

I loved loved loved this book! Rowan is my secret dream man, despite being heartless and cold. Because we all love a story where the male lead softens for the sunshine girl, don't we?

I absolutely loved this. From the romance to the character development, everything was incredibly well thought out. Honestly, I need to stop underestimating romance books. Perhaps this book will finally get me into the genre for good. I absolutely loved the depths that this book reached. While being a book about falling in love with a billionaire, the criticism of how billionaires act, as well as issues in real life theme parks was so genuine, and really brought so much to the story. I can’t wait to read Declan’s story, and am crossing my fingers that we get Cal’s!
