I am bothered a lot by how this book turned out. People said it was about a man who understood his wife better with the help of romance books but I learned that Gavin is no man but just a pathetic man child.
He does not help with anything in the house, does not support Thesa in their marriage and when faced with the concequences of his actions, instead of changing for the better he quotes the romance book he is reading and threatens Thesa to give him a chance. What the fuck. AM I SUPPOSED TO BE GRATEFUL THAT THIS MANCHILD WANTED A CHANCE SO BADLY THAT HE EXPLOITED HIS WIFES'S WILL TO NOT LET HER CHILDREN BE TRAUMATISED AS SHE HAD BEEN?
It had so much potential, had Gavin been a human being and tried to be a family member instead of trying to seduce his wife through literal quotes from one romance novel. If you are a mature human being with dislike of men acting like incapable little children, you will not enjoy this book with a female lead who is a single parent despite them being married. And no,

Gavin did not get a redemption arc. Him seducing the main character was the redemption for his man child behaviour

. Hate this book.
