One of the best grumpy x sunshine books I’ve read, it’s fast-paced, and I immediately fell in love with Lauren Asher’s writing.

I loved Zahra, even though she’s a bit annoying, she’s the typical sunshine-y character who’s always laughing at everything, but by halfway through I felt for her and was hoping she’d get the happy ending she deserves

Rowan is the typical grumpy billionaire he was a jerk for the majority of the book and loved seeing Zahra humble him and how he had a change of heart by the end.

I loved everything about this book except for how much it dragged on. Rowan is a commitment-phobe so despite them knowing that they’re 100% in love, they don’t “officially” get together till the end. And the third act breakup dragged on quite a bit but the rest of the book was entertaining.

This book is basically about one of Walt Disney’s grandsons trying to earn his inheritance. He is a grumpy who has to be a sunshine if he wants his shares in the company. He just so happens to meet a girl who embodies the sun. Would have given it more stars if physical/sexual attraction was not as prevalent in the writing.

This book is a little corny at times, but has a good overall plot. I like that the plot is centered around something different and it's refreshing not to have a basic romance book setting.

This was a very cute grumpy/sunshine romance book perfect for anyone who loves Dreamland *cough* Disney *cough* and a little spice. (3/5 spiciness) I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.

"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 🤗
