While I found some of this book problematic for me, I couldn’t get over how much the MMC adored the FMC. Some HRs with “ugly ducking” or “plain” FMCs take the path of her being undesirable and the FMC finds her beauty first in her personality and then in little features of her looks (if that makes sense). In this book he’s literally convinced that she’s a diamond of the first water despite what everybody else says and cannot perceive how anybody could think otherwise. Also, truly this is one of the only books I’ve read where the dialogue makes me laugh out loud. His banter is unmatched.

Absolutely masterful. I had SO much fun reading this book!! Smiling, giggling, jaw dropping, gasping. From a handful of pages, the author had shown the strength of character and depth of love between the sisters. I was already sold. But the way she wrote Gideon falling in love was just simply incredible. I was hanging on every word. This was such a joy to read.
I loved how lighthearted and fun this book felt even though it dealt with some very dark topics. That is another gift of the author. I’m just so shocked that I haven’t heard of this book sooner!
