This was fun but I couldn’t get over the girl who was jilted at the alter wanting a relationship with a man who was getting married. When they met she didn’t know he had a fiancé but I feel like she should have been more upset about it once she learned or told him that nothing would happen unless he freed himself because she knew what it felt like.
I wouldn’t say it was insta love or insta lust (on his part that one could apply) but she was like insta besotted with him, she was just like but he’s the one I want, him being engaged is just an inconvenience because if he truly loves me he’ll leave her. Meanwhile he’s over here like no I signed an ironclad contract I must go through with it because I don’t want love, love hurts I just want a wife that’s perfect on paper without the feelings.
We actually got the POV of the finance which I thought was really fun. I really liked her and cared more about her storyline and relationships. And it did throw me for a little loop.
