way way wayyyy too long, i found myself skimming whole paragraphs and even pages cause i just couldn't get into it. there's like absolutely zero plot which is a bummer cause i genuinely was interested in the fashion aspect idk it was something new but sadly not utilised. the book follows a standard scheme found in other arranged marriage/marriage of convenience stories and even tho i usually don't mind the miscommunication trope this one was annoyed me. The characters weren't fleshed out at all which quickly made me become disinterested in their romance. 
what i liked was that the author stayed away from the cliche 'female character gets pregnant in the epilogue' and that the hero went to therapy! thank you! should've gone sooner but still
