This book was one hell of a hilarious ride for me - I laughed at so many points, and the whole setting of the book was beautiful - the narration was captivating.

At times I felt very irritated with the FMC as I couldn't understand why can't obey for once, she had lots of prejudice against men which I found kind of annoying - I mean Ik she is living in an era where women are not allowed to do work or have any freedom but because of that this much of hate for the male group was not needed, also I hated her when she belittled her sister's romance - ok fine you don't understand the concept but why you feel that your sister too shouldn't. Honestly speaking I didn't like the FMC that much - she was brave no doubt there but she was a foolishly brave kinda girl, she thought the whole world is against her and she used that as a weapon to get involved in businesses where she was not supposed to be - Ik she is only 19 but I hope at least in next book she leaves her childish way and doesn't make everything about her - and behave a little mature.

Mr. Ambrose was the star for me, he was a cold, calculative, sharp-edged person - he knew what he wanted and he knew his power and he took advantage of it very well. From the beginning itself, you could see how much of a powerful person he is - hell there are so many unsaid powerful words in his silence itself. Than Lily, I was able to understand Mr. Ambrose more - Lily can't hold her attention to several things at once but Mr. Ambrose is fully prepared for every situation and I love that. I hope we can see more of his POV in the next book as I enjoyed his coz it was straight to the point and nothing confusing while Lily's thoughts were messed up in every situation.

This one was a fast-paced read - but it had so many pages which were not necessary as I feel many subplots were useless as compared to the main theme of the book but I can't complain can I coz it was a Wattpad story right and these much of long pages are kind of understandable.
