5 stars, I absolutely loved this book. I even think that it may be the best romance of the year for me, I am not sure yet.
As December rolled by and I had been extremely busy, I realised that I had no reading list for the holidays. So, of course I headed over to my favorite recommendation place; tiktok. And boy, am I happy for this choice. The truth to be told, this book was not recommended all that often, but it caught my eye and I loved the concept.
This book is a December- May love story, we got spice, we got the Elle Woods vibes, we got a rich, kind guy and most of all, we got an experience most women can relate too; shrinking yourself and convincing yourself that a mediocre man is the one, so you put up with a huge load of BS.
I started reading this book with high expectations since it could play out in many different ways, but thankfully it ended up offering me a great time!
It is an absolutely page turner, with realistic dialogues between women (how refreshing!), constituting a testament of what women are willing to settle for if they believe you are the one for them. It portraits that rude awakening we go through in the most realistic and heartwarming way.
As I was reading it I kept thinking, "Why can't men try and be charming and attractive irl? Damien demonstrates exactly how easy it is. You just have to view women as peopl-...oh never mind, I get it". Also, let's take a moment to hate on Richard. Oh my God, what a scumbag. I loved how Damien's pov confirmed it right away in the most subtle, but clear way.
On a kind of unrelated note, after I finished reading this book, I felt like this was what Carrie for SATC was expecting out of Big and I know I feel even worst for her.
Overall it was great, I loved a lot of the little details and as with many other romance books I think that every girl should read it, take it in and think about her happiness, her standards and her relationship with men.
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author. I would absolutely recommend this book (after all, that's what I have been doing non stop to every woman I talked to in the last week).
