I def liked the first book more and wasn’t planning on reading this until I started HRCYED. So I already came in with reservations.
It’s mafia, miscommunication, battling stigmas while getting upset, little to no past character chemistry or current chemistry.
Don’t get me wrong, stand up against the stigmas but home girl could have gone to get a masters or doctorate in psychology with the amount of money she was making. Like to say she’s only using her degree to connect more with her subscribers was just wierd to me…like go get an mba. She literally does not need to work normal work hours.
I did not like the FMC. At all.
The MMC was slightly better but he still irked me to no end. Like he could have written instead of pining for no reason for 10+ years. Like idk I felt zero emotional chemistry, connection. There was no past reason for them to have such strong feelings other than the physical.
Just not for me.
