Leila and Sam were absolutely hilarious. I love their banter and the way they do effortlessly fit into each other’s lives.
There were a few points that I wanted to wring Sam’s neck, but Leila always carried herself with such a strong no-fucks-given attitude, you knew she could stand up for herself.
In the end, Leila asks Sam to marry her - a perfect way to end the book.
Neither Leila or Sam thought they’d want to both win and lose The Marriage Game, but it turned out to be the best win-win scenario.
