This book started off feeling a little bit unorganized. The character development wasn’t huge but was also unnecessary in some areas, for example, naming all of the nieces didn’t make much sense. Also how the families reacted didn’t feel natural to the flow of the book.
I stuck it out because the lifelong friends-to-lovers trope felt like it could be cute, and it was, once I got to the middle. The spicy scenes felt a little displaced for me though.
I left feeling disappointed in the end. It felt like once we got through the drama it was “okay and everything was fine the end” and I think slower detail could have helped. I also read the bonus future chapter and it was really cliche.
Did I want to keep reading to know what happened? Yes. Could it have been delivered differently? Absolutely.
