This is a boring capitalist romance for Disney adults. If it was going to be THIS cliche and controversial (read: the love interest votes against minimum wage and strips workers of their healthcare coverage in the first few chapters), it could at least be good. The spice was boring. The story was cliche, and the dialogue read like a wattpad story for pre-teens. Every chance at an interesting story was wasted with overdone cliches, lackluster pacing, and forgotten storylines. The hallmark naïveté is juxtaposed with sexy lines (some of which are good, most of which are not). It also needed a good round of edits because the characters treated the same monologues over and over.
If I tried to repeat all of the criticisms I made in my kindle notes, this review would be just as long as the book, so it’s save to say this wasn’t for me.
