Torn on how to rate this. Aiden was not Lucy Score's typical emotionally constipated alphahole who makes the FMC suffer for no reason for over 400 pages, so kudos for writing a nice, likeable MMC. But there was like . . . so much casual misogyny from our narrator and kinda from Frankie, our FMC, who was otherwise really likeable and actually had a backbone? This felt like watching one of those outdated early 2010s romcoms were we punched down on 'stick insect' women repeatedly for being vapid and shallow. It was a massive stretch to try to make me feel bad for the lead with a body like a Kardashian and a massive rack. Poor Frankie??? How dare she have curves - we're supposed to believe dudes find this gross?? Um okay.

This got significantly better after we got through the initial wedding scene. I was considering DNFing it. The characters were a little too over-the-top and cliche there, but things toned down significantly once everyone flew back home.
