I went into this book not really expecting much. I'd considered buying it before, but after seeing the negative reviews, decided against it. Until I found a copy second hand and decided what the hell and to give it ago. And the only thing I have to say is – are the people who didn't enjoy this book high??
This story went above and beyond my expectations and never failed to make me laugh, smile, squeal and kick my feet and giggle. The romance felt more genuine, mature and hearty than anything else I've read in a long time. And this is coming from and tried and true romance girly.
Both Cassie and Frederick felt so real to me. Their dynamic was absolutely hilarious and Fredrick's fish out of water experience was by far my favourite part. The plot felt easy to follow and at the same time, was really intriguing. I never wanted to put this book down. And considering I finished it in only 1½ days, I feel speaks volumes.
If I had to give a criticism, however, was the ending. It felt like all this drama was being built up only for it to be solved pretty quickly without much anticipation or stakes. It just felt a bit rushed and like everything was solved before the real drama could really begin.
But all is to say that this book surpassed my expectations by a long shot. And I would never dream about not recommending this to someone!! It was light, fluffy, funny and overall amazing. Exactly the pallet cleanser I've been needing.
