One of the best grumpy x sunshine books I’ve read, it’s fast-paced, and I immediately fell in love with Lauren Asher’s writing.
I loved Zahra, even though she’s a bit annoying, she’s the typical sunshine-y character who’s always laughing at everything, but by halfway through I felt for her and was hoping she’d get the happy ending she deserves
Rowan is the typical grumpy billionaire he was a jerk for the majority of the book and loved seeing Zahra humble him and how he had a change of heart by the end.
I loved everything about this book except for how much it dragged on. Rowan is a commitment-phobe so despite them knowing that they’re 100% in love, they don’t “officially” get together till the end. And the third act breakup dragged on quite a bit but the rest of the book was entertaining.
