condls27's review against another edition
First of all, this book should have 200 pages shorter. Like for real was the author getting paid by the word?! 515 pages of nothing. NOTHING. Unless you count the FMC saying “Jack” 766 times (yes I did look up the exact number).
I have never gotten the ick so violently as I did with both of the MCs. Rose is so horse-girl coded I’m honestly shocked she didn’t gallop everywhere she went. Jack was just a jerk. Not in the powerful, no nonsense lawyer who can be direct but has a heart of gold kind of way. No, he was a jerk in the never learned social skills and doesn’t treat people like human beings kind of way. It was such a turn off. Their dialogue managed to feel both like a giant run on sentence and incredibly stilted. Still baffled by it.
The plot? Nonexistent. I get we have to suspend our disbelief for any marriage of convenience trope but this was a stretch. It’s like the author decided on the tropes before she had an actual plot fleshed out and it just made everything so clunky. We all love a hurt/comfort trope but did you have to make the hurt spinal fluid leaking from her nose?! If you have to force a plot point just to have a specific trope, you lose all of the magic that makes that trope good.
Booktok has done me dirty before but I’ll never forgive them for this one!

Immediately loved the choice for character names lol. I’d find myself reading Rose’s pov in Kate Winslet’s voice. Especially anytime she said “Jack.” So funny.
I loved Rose and Jacks banter. The book is FULL of the funniest banter scenes. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole thing.
Jack’s ability to slowly readjust the way he interacts with people solely because of Roses intentions when she does it was so freaking cute.
I did cry when Rose was put in anxiety inducing situations. I felt for her.
I felt their love, their tension, I felt it all. Towards the end it felt the tiniest big dragged out which resulted in me taking a while to finish the book but it was amazing!
