Falling For Mr. Safety by Marika Ray, Delancey Stewart

3.0

Not sure why this book is so highly rated? It was cute but ok and predictable. What was meant to be surprising didn’t really surprise me since it felt like chunks of this book were missing. The first few chapters didn’t have their details lined up smoothly so it felt disjointed.

I didn’t click with Juniper at all.

I liked “Mr. Safety”- Carter - but the quirky banter stopped once he wanted her to like him and not think he was weird or irritating. So he wasn’t able to be himself - I don’t like that. Maybe he was able to be himself later but she had no problem teasing him about stuff when she had her own issues. Her whole family- not there for her for years but now here for her and being perfect supports? Not realistic.

Don’t get me started on how unrealistic it was for Carter to just shut down his business and move for Juniper- there needed to be some discussion about future plans and she should have had to sacrifice something. I don’t feel like they were an even couple I guess!
