I really tried so hard.
But I did not *enjoy* reading this book at all and that is really a bad sign for me.
I love a good billionaire / office romance and I like sunshine x grumpy.
This sunshine though to me felt unhinged, over the top, crossing social norms, and ugh a childish Disney adult manic pixie dream girl is way too much for anyone to have to deal with.
I also have a very sunshine-y disposition. I also like pink and glitter and things that some might deem immature.
But I sure know not to put semi-motivational glittery pink pen notes in my boss’ underwear drawer????
She would have been fired so quick, he would not even have heard about it.
Perhaps it is a slow burn, but I did not see any romance and also did not want to read any romance because she acts like a child and that is not to my interest.
DNF at 27%. PROUD that I got that far…
I received an ARC of this book (thanks!) and these are my own opinions.
