Just to get it out of the way, I don't know if I'd call this a "funny" romance as the synopsis suggests. There are lighthearted and humorous moments, but there are a lot of meaningful conversations around classism, corporate corruption, and abusive family dynamics.
Having read Zen Cho's fantasy, I was super excited to try this contemporar romance, and I of course, wasn't disappointed. The story kept me captivated, and I adored the characters.
Like always, I could do without the miscommunication trope, but I get that it's the go to trope in this genre. And like always, it feels like it came out of nowhere, felt disjointed, and wrapped up quickly.
