DNF @ 52% because I have a life I want to live and it's too short reading about idiotic characters who are rude, annoying, weirdly sexist and just people I don't give a flying fuck about.
That was rude, but I'm honestly so disappointed by this book. This was a highly anticipated release for me because the concept sounded so fun. I love an enemies to lovers trope, especially at work. But the more I read it, the more annoyed I got by it.
The concept of "Heartbreak for Hire" sounded cool and interesting initally but the more I read it, the more vile and mean it sounded. It didn't help that the CEO sounded like Umbridge and Mother Gothel put into one person.
The second, the main character is supposed to be good at her job but all I can see is her being absolutely terrible. Not only at her job but also to her mother, who sure is a piece of work, but Jesus the DISRESPECT. The south asian in me can't. Also, the "woe is me" "oh i just really want to be an artist" thing got old realllll fast.
So yeah. DNF. Really sad this didn't work for me. Somebody just please tell me what happened in the end.
