Stone Broke Heiress by Danielle Owen-Jones
2.0
2.5 stars
The first half of this book was easily 3.5 stars. A typical but enjoyable story of a sweet and funny romance between the rich girl turn poor and the grumpy but handsome cook of the town. There's not much to say about this part, it was well written and fun with nothing too serious, some cute scenes, and overall a nice romance. That's why I don't understand why the last half turned as bad as it did.
Imagine going from a fluffy romance to serious world problems from one chapter to another. Without previous explanation suddenly the book began a political talk about modern slavery, animal cruelty and overall awful stuff that needs to be addressed, but not out of nowhere with minimal information just because the author wanted to fill a social agenda. There was no reason to include this, it was forced and unnecessary. And I don't understand why the author felt the need to do a whole social talk just to create conflict between the main characters. Because there can't be a healthy relationship without external conflicts right?
I just want to forget the last part ever existed.
