Overall, it was okay. It started well, it hooked me up in the first couple chapters but in the middle it dragged out a bit. It made me laugh many times tho so at least I was entertained.
The characters were likeable except for the FMC who needed a backbone and maybe some brain. Anyone could see she was just getting used as a trophy daughter by her dad but she did everything he said even though he gave her zero believable proof of actually wanting her to be part of the business. All she does is watch TV, eat takeout and be with Rook. I wanted to shake her and maybe slap her a few times so she could wake up and see her reality. She got better in the end but still it took way too long.
