Dear Heart, You Screwed Me by Ashlee Rose
1.0
This was just…not a great book. The sex scenes were spicy, but I eventually started to skim even those as I was struggling to not DNF the book.
I thought the early chapters of grief for Elijah was laying it on a little thick but ok, establishing background for FMC. Then insta bff with Connie (and in such a trite sorority girl “luv ya bitch tits way”) should have been my first clue the book was gonna tank. Next clue was FMC & MMC so drunk they flew via private jet from NYC to Las Vegas, got married, and flew back to NYC and FMC has no recollection whatsoever. Later MMC admits to being drunk but not as drunk as FMC but never reveals why they got married or why he wants her to suddenly be his wife for real. I stick with the book bc I have hangups about DNF’ing books, but it just gets worse.
Sooooo much miscommunication & pettiness & oh look FMC went in to get an IVF work up & surprise you are already pregnant! Right about the time the FMC has a random fortune telling I started skimming the book to finish. An absurd amount of unnecessary third act drama….the icing on the “why did I keep reading this book” cake was the FMC finding out the MMC had a heart transplant…and the heart he got was…wait for it…from when her dead fiancé! I dont know if this was supposed to be a tear jerking full circle moment or what, but it made me want to throw the book across the room.
