I had higher expectations, and I was disappointed. The plot seemed to have potential (office romance, marriage of convenience), but the story was messy and really questionable. I felt the need to dnf it a few times.
I was really ??? because of the way he kind of used her grandma's health issue to get to her.

The writing felt so off in many ways, and the story and characters are VERY toxic, so I didn't enjoy it.
Was it a little psychotic and definitely toxic? Absolutely. Would I do it all over again? Yes, without a single doubt.
