Lush Money by Angelina M. Lopez

3.0

---

This was my first time reading a marriage of convenience trope and I’ll definitely try another, but not because i lived this story. This book verged on being one of my first two star ratings but I bumped it up to a three because it mostly redeemed itself by the end. Aside from some problematic moments of intimacy where consent was a big gray area, my biggest issue was that it took way too long for me to feel any connection to either main character. By the end I really liked Roxanne, but I couldn’t say the same at the beginning. She was almost too unlikable to the point where i considered DNFing. I did enjoy the gender flipped power dynamics and the whole “successful despite our shitty parents” theme.
