I cannot with this book. I tried. I couldn't connect with the story, the characters, or the writing style.

The cover is gorgeous. The book was fun too, but I could not stand Maxi’s stuttering. It drove me crazy!

The start of this novel may be challenging for some readers (content warning), but at its core, it is about a young woman discovering her self-worth and learning to believe in herself. Having read the webtoon version, I noticed many similarities between the two, though this book includes a significant amount of steamy romance that caught me off guard!

I feel like I definitely took a chance on this one, and I was pleasantly surprised. I will probably continue the series.

thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for a free review
I loved the webtoon of this and I'm so glad i got approved for this! gotta love a good marriage of convenience trope with grumpy x sunshine/sweet
