Had an absolute blast reading this! I couldn't stop smiling and laughing my way through and I had to stop here and there to catch my breath. ๐Ÿคฃ

Absolutely loved the FMC - she was totally unhinged and crazy in her own way ๐Ÿฅฐ, has a really weird sense of logic that makes all the mafia men pause ๐Ÿ‘€ and wonder if she's sane, and her mouth runs faster than a bullet train! Girlie is a certified YAPPER, which tbh I relate, I can't stop talking either ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฃ 

And it makes me all UWU when the MMC just looks at her being mentally unbalanced and thinks she's so cute and endearing ๐Ÿฅน He really said she's crazy but she's my type of crazy ๐Ÿคฃ 

Do expect:
๐Ÿ’• Cute dog shenanigans 
๐Ÿ’• Baking shenanigans
๐Ÿ’• Kidnappings and hostages shenanigans 
๐Ÿ’• Green flag mafia MMC
๐Ÿ’• Unhinged comedy

The spice was pretty tame actually! The kisses were descriptive and there were some heavy petting but the actual seggs scenes were very glossed over and faded to black. So if you're not a spicy reader, this should be great for you too! I'd give it like a 1.5/2๐ŸŒถ๏ธ out of 5๐ŸŒถ๏ธ.

Overall, I am in love with this book and if you ever thought that you needed a green flag mafia romance, this is it! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

โš ๏ธ SPOILERS BELOW ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

The way this girl gradually domesticated all these big bad scary mafia men with her slobbery big dog, cupcakes and unhinged yapping ๐Ÿ˜ญ

When she got kidnapped by men who ACTUALLY want to kill her, she starts promoting MMC's stand mixer and they look at each other and realise she's crazy.๐Ÿคฃ The enemies are so convinced she's nuts, they're second guessing if they kidnapped the right girl cos there is no way would the rival scary mafia man would be with this nutcase.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฃ

The dog chewed through EVERY single shoe the MMC had in his closet so he had no choice but to wear his underling's too-small shoes which cramped his feet but he wasn't even a bit mad ๐Ÿ˜

Fuck, when they did a whole damn funeral for FMC's plant, I lost it. They really did a whole ass ceremony with speeches and songs for a plant that the MMC suspected has been dead this whole time, I can't. ๐Ÿ˜ญ 

Docked half a star because the dad part of the plot was INCREDIBLY vague and anticlimactic. To be completely honest, I wasn't even sure what happened between them or how it was resolved slash not resolved.๐Ÿค” Like I'm still confused as to what happened there.๐Ÿคจ
