I very much like it, and not even halfway through reading I decided to buy the special edition.

I kind of figured something preset this arrangement. Because compatibility, attraction and believability. 

I really really wanted to see some of Dane’s thoughts, because it just seemed so obvious to me at least. But I also understand if we didn’t see his point of you, we would see will be later learn about.

This was a great read, and it was funny how lots of people were trying to get in between their marriage, that they both knew was for a purpose. 

It was great seeing how this scenario didn’t bring any inks because everyone who was in this arrangement knew it the plot. So seeing how frustrated everyone else he was trying to ruin the marriage was so satisfying.

I would definitely recommend this read, and I am so glad that I got that special edition.

I just couldn't get over the mmc calling the fmc baby girl unironically. I also imagined it the way the main character from 365 days said it so I kept cracking up. I liked the fmc though, she was a well written character (for the most part)

Dane’s feelings about Vienna truly felt elusive and kinda enjoyed not knowing. Watching their relationship grow was really beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed the epilogue. 
P.S- Smut was incredible

I will say that I enjoyed this and the ending was very cute, and it was nice and spicy, but although I enjoyed the buildup of the relationship and the way they interacted there were certain comments that the characters made in the book which just didn’t sit right with me. For example, the FMC at one point in the book said “Seriously, if being an asshole burned calories, you’d be fucking anorexic.”, now there were certain other instances where they said things and I was like hmmm, but this one just really stuck with me because anorexia is a serious condition, it’s not something to joke about, or use as a way insult someone. So, this just really didn’t sit right with me, I did finish the book because I wanted to see where the relationship ended but I don’t think I’m going to reread due to opinions like this being made within the book.

Okay- This was pretty good. I enjoyed it. Dane and Vienna's relationship took a while to grow on me. I think he always liked her but due to personal reasons, never pushed a move on her. Instead of jumping into a relationship, it was easier to jump into marriage straight away. The trust fund was like a blessing in disguise. I felt bad for Vienna a lot, considering her past. Her and Dane were really closed off throughout the whole book. It got dark fast. I felt bad for Dane after learning about his past but it explains himself and the way he is perfectly. I loved Simon. I loved the mental illness representation. I loved the whole "touch her and you die" vibe. Overall I enjoyed it.
