Daddies Next Door by Rebel Bloom
2.5
slow-paced

This was rather disappointing. It started out so strong and good and I was loving every bit of it. Until our FMC turned into a complete brat. Tell me how it makes sense that she laments over wanting a mature man but acts like a whiny child? In the beginning, she seemed all reasonable and great, but after their first night, she transformed into an ill-mannered spoilt child. Literally, as someone who worked in the childcare industry, she really resembled the 5 year olds I've taken care of. 

The FMC had a horrible habit of making assumptions, jumping to conclusions and then blowing up at people. And the guys just sit there and take it even though one of them thought he's had enough of this kind of petty arguing in his previous marriage. And ok, one of the other guys likes punishing her so she might be bratty to get that. But there's a difference in putting on a bratty act for attention and being a completely childish brat over unreasonable matters.

The guys had the patience of saints because no matter how many times she blew up on them, they would reach out and try to resolve it. They were very mature, they acted their ages, communicative and respectful. And our FMC, who has LONG been wishing for this type of man to enter her life, decides that she was not the luckiest woman in the world to land 3 great guys and resorts to crying fits, raging unreasonably and throwing tantrums. Imma say that maybe her dad had a point that her mom naming her "Sugar" probably fked up her character because what is wrong with this girl?!

I'm so let down because this book started out so good and then spiralled just like our FMC. I hate to say it but the only amazing takeaway were the men and grandma. Glad the FMC got therapy in the end, she sure as hell needed it.
