EMILIE SAYS "WHAT?!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• There is a female STALKER that the male lead won't do anything about EXCEPT when he pays a homeless man outside his building $50/day to "keep her away from him"! WHAT?!! Okay...that's freaking dangerous.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The female lead also gets non-stop attacked/followed/bothered by various Santas all around NYC...? I just...WHAT?! It's ridiculous.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The illustrated characters on the cover of this book DON'T match the description of the characters in the story. Like, literally different hair color. Once again I say....WHAT?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• During one of their first interactions the Male lead tells the female lead she needs to "lay off the cookies" while looking her up and down. Yeah. He called her FAT. And she just let that go. I'm sorry...WHAT?!! And may I add an OH, HELL NO!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Within one day of knowing her the Billionaire male hands the heroine his PLATINUM CREDIT CARD and tells her to buy stuff to decorate the lobby of his manhattan building. Ummmm....WHAT?!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The heroine shows up at the Hero's door in just skimpy lingerie at one point. NOT covered by a coat or anything. Like, how did she get there? She just waltzed through the hallways and took the elevator up to the penthouse dressed in crotchless panties?!! WHAT?!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The leads have sex multiple times with no mention of condoms/protection/or STIs. Is this the year 2020 because...WHAT?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The heroine is a food instagrammer and is trying to start her own bakery. She accepts gifts of LINGERIE from UNKNOWN FANS and then puts on the lingerie, snaps photos, and POSTS THEM ON INSTAGRAM. This happens multiple times. Say WHAT?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• This story is about a cooking competition and there are ENTIRE PAGES of minutely-detailed food descriptions. It's ridiculous. This book dragged on for sooooo looonnnng I finally gave up because WHAT?!
