The story was overall sweet but Kian was a bit insufferable. He was at times quite rude and hyperfixated on himself as a journalist. The pop culture references were pretty constant.
The real issue is for a second chance romance we don't really get to understand at all why they didn't work the first time. With all Kian's insecurity/discomfort about Hudson being rich and the basically zero backstory we get this should've just been fake dating a FWB you stopped getting the benefits from. Honestly that whole aspect felt flimsy to me. Even the fake dating didn't make sense. Hudson's family wanted to see them together? They barely know him and he antagonises the dad.
There were some writing choices that felt clunky that could've been streamlined - you don't need to show off all the synonyms for said/ordered that you know!
