this was just... mediocre. didn't leave me with a good feeling, nor did it leave me angry because of how bad it was. it had a meh writing, meh storyline, meh characters, meh romance. the synopsis made it seem so exciting that two people were sharing a bed without ever seeing each other, only for the  first meet to be brushed off and dealt with in a few pages. there wasn't really any chemistry between the main couple. the whole trial thing was also really unbelievable. there weren't any cute or wow moments. just a plain book. 

but i just saw the trailer for the show adaption of this book and it's really disappointing to see tiffy not having her main features - a plus size tall body and red hair - considering Jessica Brown Findlay is 165cm tall, slim and has brown hair
