This book starts with the manic pixie dream girl FMC assaulting the MMC in the street. Then continues with the MMC being a gentrifier. The rest of the plot is the FMC and MMC not communicating and ends with the MMC buying her affection. I do not recommend.

I absolutely loved the bubbly pink of Lala & the gray grumpy of Henry! As everyone knows pink & gray compliment each other nicely! The twist nearly broke me. If you enjoy a grumpy/sunshine this book is perfect for you! There was nice spice that built in the end.

3.5 stars. Not quite 4. I adored the FMC. I don’t think these two would ever work out IRL but nice to know the MMC got the giant stick out of his ass. Also, what exactly happened to him to make him such a grouch. It wasn’t totally convincing.

pinky promise is apart of the gummy bear orgy series, a series of stand alone romcom books.
the books was like if hallmark movies were spicy in the absolute BEST way.
another book making me kick my little feets, and giggle, and blush. we had our hallmark trope of a cute quirky girl, with her cute quirky job throwing a grumpy, rich, business boy for a loop. but then, we got us some not so hallmark spice and i'm here for it. we even got some waterworks for this book.
we've got friends with benefits, grumpy sunshine, best friend's brother/sister's best friend, with a smattering of enemies to lovers. the author's website has 4 more colors listed with this series and i can barely reign in my excitement at the thought.
per my spreadsheet:
spice 🌶 - a 4 🌶 spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 days
did it make me cry? - it did.

I wish I would’ve liked this book more and maybe I would have if the seriously uncomfortable word choice in the first couple chapters wouldn’t have been how we were introduced to the characters.
As I continued reading I found I just really didn’t like the FMC. She comes across as juvenile and childish, instead of free spirited with a child-like approach to the world.
I probably wouldn’t recommend this book, but I’ve read another book by the same author and I really enjoyed that one!
