temporary_escaper's review against another edition
DNF at 40%.. the characters and plot are annoying and ridiculous. The writing style is just not captivating for me. If I pushed myself to finish I might’ve rated it like a 2.5 star, but I don’t think it’s worth the time unfortunately

I'm glad I read the reviews of this book or I would've stopped reading it pretty quickly. The first 3rd of the book (the wedding) is kind of horrible - way more frenetic than funny. It does get better. In fact, the last two thirds are pretty much a different book. Even the heroine acts differently. I liked her family - especially her brothers - and was happy I stuck with it.
Themes: upstairs/downstairs, family, Brooklyn, destination wedding, billionaire

Another Lucy Score book. I noticed some similiarities when it comes to her writing but you know what? I love her. I love her books, say what you want, she never miss and she indeed is one of my top authors.

Torn on how to rate this. Aiden was not Lucy Score's typical emotionally constipated alphahole who makes the FMC suffer for no reason for over 400 pages, so kudos for writing a nice, likeable MMC. But there was like . . . so much casual misogyny from our narrator and kinda from Frankie, our FMC, who was otherwise really likeable and actually had a backbone? This felt like watching one of those outdated early 2010s romcoms were we punched down on 'stick insect' women repeatedly for being vapid and shallow. It was a massive stretch to try to make me feel bad for the lead with a body like a Kardashian and a massive rack. Poor Frankie??? How dare she have curves - we're supposed to believe dudes find this gross?? Um okay.
This got significantly better after we got through the initial wedding scene. I was considering DNFing it. The characters were a little too over-the-top and cliche there, but things toned down significantly once everyone flew back home.
