I never skim books but I skim read major chuncks about then at 80% really just flicked through to see what happened and let me say… I love romance but this book infuriated me.
The pacing was dull and the puns painful. The characters were caricatures of the tropes.
I hate when fertility or conception issues is the major conflict in a book - gives me major ick. Also pre-implantation genetic testing is a thing so it was completely invalid anyway. He’s a billionaire also pretty sure in the UK it’s covers on NHS. It didn’t mention whether her heart couldn’t handle a pregnancy just that she would pass on her genetic condition.
There was also some tasteless jokes at the sake of a gender diverse person saying that a side character dating them is the reason they use they/them pronouns now. Whilst continually misgendering them.
Super frustrating. Most hated book of the year easy.
