I received an Advanced Reader Copy through NetGalley and am voluntarily writing an honest review.
I really wanted to love this book. I tend to enjoy or be drawn to books that have to do with travel and airplanes.
Looking back at my time reading this book, I can honestly say that I have no idea what I even read, and I finished this book less than a week ago.
The characters are charming enough, but they act so immature for seemingly no reason, especially considering their age. Our MMC is a celebrity who faces the paparazzi thinking that he proposed to his ex-girlfriend, Delight when they're seen in public together after a one night stand. They then continue to have a fake relationship.
The whole thing just seemed very unrealistic to me, and I find it hard to believe anything that actually happened.
There are also a handful of spelling and grammar errors in this book, which takes away from the immersion into the story.
The spice started off strong enough, but it fell flat nearing the end, if I'm being completely honest.
My synesthesia also decided to pay me a visit while I was reading this. I got a strong lemon whipped cream taste in my mouth, and I can't really explain why. I'm glad it was a pleasant flavour, though!
Guide to my ratings:
5 stars: flawless, hard to put down
4 stars: it was really good and memorable
3 stars: it was good/okay
2 stars: none or not many redeeming qualities and somewhat forgettable
1 star: horrible, had no idea what was going on, boring!!!
