Perfectly Candid by J.S. Jasper
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.
When I initially felt id been reading for a lifetime and realised it was only 8%, i knew there were going to be some problems. Not only was this book painfully slow, it didnt actually make that much sense.
Its a modern setting but the monarchy and FMC Aliyah speak like they live in Bridgerton which just didnt make sense. It was clear the author doesnt really know much about royalty or how upper class dialect is supposed to work. We dont say “is it not” after every question. It just read so childish and uninformed/researched. At one point she wrote him a letter and sealed it with wax. In a setting that has mobile phones. Noone actually does that anymore!!!
MMC Elliot was just too much of a simp for me. It was cute at the start but by the halfway mark he was still spitting soliloquies about her beauty and i was just over it. Theres nothing wrong with being cute but this was some serious overkill! How he didnt know who the ADOPTED BLACK princess was in a white royal family made NO sense.
Aliyah apparently makes all these changes in parliament or wherever but never goes outside. Then we throw in some random rape at the end!? (I skimmed the end after i gave up) Jeeezos this was insanity.
If you like cutest slow burns then whatever but this was really immature and the royalty element was forced and ridiculous.
