My mafia men are missing meðŸ˜
The plot was darn promising only if it weren't for the lack of communication or the repetitive arguments.
Epilogue stole all my "giving a shit" attitude please she just delivered a baby and you're asking her to come downstairs and celebrate 💀💀

I am a sucker for illustrated book covers.
But it was just too predictably boring, even the twist or angst (if you wanna say that)
Since this wasn't insta I was expecting them to go slow with it and not confess their love after kissing, once.
The book started with lot of hope, made me laugh alot but ended up becoming boring by last, I guess this is my sign to stop reading clean romance.

Where is the grump part we were promising?
All I could see was a girl with insecurities who was trying find her footing in the world post jail time (ik corny but deal with it)
Smut was good tho.Â

I hope the author improves in their delivery style and add some uniqueness to the plot, the bland character and plot won't do for long.

I have nothing against the trope, but the characters gaaahh they can kiss my ass.
Â
If only this would have been a novella I could relate to the preposterous situation or the characters without an ounce of maturity.
Smut could've been really good but PD has to go and use vuvla unfriendly stuff to come ತ_ತ
I never really got the lesson after reading her Credence (:Â
