This book wasn’t for me. I’m honestly not sure why I finished it. I could see someone else enjoying it, but to me it read as if you’d asked AI to write every Hallmark movie plot into a novel. It didn’t have charm or wit, it felt like it was just plodding along.
I did not like the main characters. The mmc was so aggressively mean at the beginning of the novel, it was a major red flag. His character development didn’t feel natural. The fmc had a martyr complex and I found all the secret keeping about the bills nonsensical, especially from her seemingly successful sister in NY.
