"Love is something you generate.
"And loving other people really does turn out, in the end, to be a genuine way of loving yourself."

hannah being private security and this undercover badass was really fun, and i loved watching her prove everyone wrong when they underestimated her. jack was also a good character, and i loved seeing him happy with her. is that a trope? “only happy because of her”? i’m making it one. i thought i was getting lucky with forced proximity and her having to follow him everywhere to keep him protected, but oh no. we hit the jackpot, folks. katherine center threw in some fake dating and only one bed as a cherry on top. i was completely sold.
sometimes i felt the conflicts were just a little predictable or forced but that’s not to say it was a bad thing at all. i still enjoyed reading how hannah was going to get herself out of it.
i also think the epilogue was really well done and fully just tied everything up with bows to let you know exactly how everything turned out, which is a big plus for me because i hate wondering what happens after the story.

Perhaps I’m being a little hard because the heart of the story is really sweet. But the writing and the composition of the story is the real downfall of this book. But I think the nail on the coffin was the unmissable pick-me vibes saturated throughout the whole narrative. There are only three female characters that are redeemable: the main character Hannah, the ailing mother of Jack Stapleton, and the quirky side character Kelly who is really there only to be a comic relief from time to time. The rest of the women in the story are shallow, selfish, and often just outright dumb. The last time I read a romance novel that invested in the patriarchal bargain was in middle school when I read fan fiction stories on Wattpad.
