As for the plot, I really enjoyed it. The marriage of convenience worked well with Jason being seen as a bit of a playboy and it bringing Olive’s book to life as such. I loved the ending of how it finished where their story started but I do wish we saw more of Olive’s family’s reaction to everything that happened though as they were a big focus, at the start especially.
Overall, I enjoyed this book, but just felt some things were missing for me, which is why this is a 4 star reward instead of a 5 for me.

Tengo mis pequeñas cositas, claro. Para hacer tanto incapié en la familia de Olive, su presencia es casi nula. Ambos personajes principales no se sienten completamente formados, hay cuestiones muy cuestionables y el plot twist (que se ve venir y no por eso es algo malo) es levemente decepcionante.
Sin embargo, es una lectura ligera, bonita, y bastante caliente si te gustan los """""slow-burn"""".

firstly, the writing style was intolerable. this book was like a wattpad book written by a twelve year old— heck, wattpad books like those might have a better writing style, actually.
secondly, this book romanticizes sexual assault. i’m not going to explain further, but drunk consent is NOT consent. taking your partner’s clothes off while they were asleep is not any better either.
thirdly, the characters were so unlikable. the only trait jason has is being a movie star and calling olive “little one”. he’s blander than mal from shadow and bone. on the other hand, olive is literally the definition of a kid in an adult body. i wanted a sunshine main character, not the whole solar system.
i wish i could tell you that it lived up to the hype, that it’s as beautiful as it sounds in the book’s description. unfortunately, it wasn’t.
(never trusting contemporary romance booktok again lol)

This book was so good! The dynamics between Olive & Jason — their chemistry was off the charts! I’ve read some of Ella Maise’s other books and let me tell you — her writing is fantastic! Definitely worth reading 💖
