i received an e-ARC and so am giving my honest review!

i LOVED this. with everything happening in the world right now, a fluffy mlm romance was exactly what i needed. i saw a lot of reviews complain about the lack of stakes or characters being 2-dimension and i have to disagree in that the lack of super high stakes made this more enjoyable for me. it let me relax and truly just enjoy the story and the romance. and id definitely disagree about 2-D characters. this was a book where i could clearly tell whose chapter i was reading based off their inner monologue/voice extremely easily. this was really enjoyable and i was really engaged and entertained the entire time reading. i felt as if the world building was done well in that it wasn’t overwhelming. i like books that don’t make you memorize tons and tons of words and cities etc. this was genuinely such a lighthearted and soft read and exactly what i needed at a time like this
