Es uno de los peores libros de la autora, al final del libro sentí la sensación que me salte capítulos enteros, los protagonistas hablaban sobre interacciones que nunca fueron expuestas en el libro; dramas, conversaciones, tal vez semanas o meses enteros se sienten perdidas.

El final del libro se resuelve en no más de dos páginas de la forma más sosa posible, tal vez la autora no tenía tiempo y decidió que todo terminaba en lo que las películas llaman " la noche de graduación". El protagonista se enamora, toma la decisión de casarse y hasta de tener hijos en no más de 2 paginas, nada más inverosímil. Haré lo posible por olvidar este libro, pero la verdad no necesito hacer mucho para olvidarlo, tal vez me pase lo del protagonista y en 10 minutos resuelva mi vida y olvide esta historia.

Perfectly fine, just not the tropes I enjoy. Bickering, endless lies, using OW/OM to make each other jealous, H accusing h of being a ho-bag gold digger and her loving him anyway... siiigh. If you're into these tropes then I think you'll really enjoy, but sadly for myself I just get a bit pissed off and skim.

Pretty bland plot. Didn't mind any of the characters but the hero...uh he needed to be overhauled. He was repetitive, sexual harassing, a cheater kinda, and was the thing that dragged down the book. Everyone else is fine. Eh read it I guess.

Maybe it's a good book, but I was so bored that I just skipped it.

And it's a shame. The story has one of my favourite features: a handsome barrister!

Another girl is swept against her wishes out of poverty into wealth.
Oh my poor lamb, I know how you feel now that your brother's at college, you've got a new and interesting job, you live in the poshest neighbourhood in a family home of some loaded guy (a friend of your late grandfather) who's ready to fulfill your every dream and you're given a limitless creditcard.

How can anyone survive on those terms?
