No. Just no. It’s over the top cutesy and obnoxious. If I never hear the name Kate again, it’ll be too soon.
I cannot stand when characters fall madly deeply in love the first day knowing each other. I cannot stand it even more when they each tell each other how in love with each other they are for 6 straight pages at a time. Only to have the next 6 pages be filled with them not having positive communication skills, arguing, then apologizing and saying how in love with each other they are for the next 6 pages.
It was a cycle of abuse.
2 stars because it actually had a good plot, but I HATED every single character. EVERY ONE OF THEM.
Semi-soilers:
I hated that “Kate” kept saying “that’s my job” when he tried to do the simplest of tasks like taking off his cuff links or taking the groceries out of the car. 🤢 Or saying “I should be the one kneeling” when he was trying to purpose. 🤮🤮🤮 She kept saying she doesn’t care about his money, yet she felt the need to compensate for her practically being kidnapped by him and him giving her all of his money, cars, and houses, and her losing her job because of him (all of this happened one week into them starting to see each other).
JUST NO.
