I really liked this book! It is about two people who work at Dreamland aka a knock off of Disney. There is a family secret involving billions of dollars at stake. I really enjoyed the fact that her sister had a disability. I think that people with disabilities aren’t mentioned enough in popular books so it came as a nice surprise, especially at the end when he proposed that Dreamlands character costumes include prosthetics, wheelchairs, and other types of disabilities.

Fun fact about me. I love theme parks. I’m originally from Orlando, so that tracks. So I was super excited for this book. And while I was a bit bored in the middle, the ending is as magical as you might expect.
I’m not the biggest grump and sunshine romance person. Nor am I the biggest office romance person (the HR violations! The power dynamics! Gasp!) But this one was okay. 
I wasn’t super into Zahra as a character because she stays the same for the most part, but Rowan’s character development is pretty nice.

This book ticks a lot of different tropes. Sunshine and grump, office romance, rich asshole, etc etc. If you’re into those, you’ll probably enjoy this book.
