I enjoyed the series in general as a fantasy and a silly ronmance to enjoy as just that and usually I don't think too much about the sociopolitical context of it. But the romantization of poverty with the kid as a tool for this grand realisation: "to get a job" and humanice him in general really pissed me off. In Spain (and Europe in general i think) scholarization is mandatory until 16, and kids are forbidden to work in general, you can with special permit but never ever ever nights. We have a social system to protect children from exploitative labour. Do your research if you want to write something outside your capitalism factory of a country.
Also in other books you could infer it but is blatantly obvious in this one that this author is more obsessed with lower body count (for women) and tightness than an alpha male with a podcast.
And the final problem was SO hard to resolve for a millionaire: a house in driving distance from the city. Just a stupid problem with a simple solution, I like the drama of a third act breakup but it has to make sense.
Missed the mark with this one even though the premise was the most interesting.
