Okay...I accidentally did not save my carefully formulated review..haha...so here are some key notes:
-- "bad-boy" does not have to be asshole (and especially sexist comments don't have to be used to give the mMC "edge")
-- the trope where one male character acts shitty and then grovels gets boring when it is used for almost all male characters in a book and repeatedly
- I get that the book was already long..but skippin certain scenes was disappointing
+ liked wide repertoire of side-characters who did not exist only to bring along this story
+ more show than tell
++ a fMC who is driven, career-oriented and stubborn while also being feminine and in touch with her emotions was really refreshing
++ the portrayal of other relationships or them being formed other that the romantic one
Spice(quantity&quality):
4/5
The tension was gooood. It also felt like the spicy scenes actually added sth to the story and felt "custom-fitted" for the MCs there is also variety and detail.
