no real plot, just smut.
Even for smut this one was a little much. Quinn was so aggressively not like other girls, to the point that her internal monologue was a sludge to get through. It was endless vitriol about how all the women in her life were vapid and shallow. In fairness, her friends did just abandon her to get herself home after getting her shitfaced at a wedding so maybe they deserve her inner monologue of hatred.
Also, one of the MMC's was black, which in and of itself is fine, but the way he was written...it felt very fetishy instead of just part of his character.

It was cute, and started out fun. I really enjoyed the characters and how their flaws played into the story. The hotel in and of itself became a character too which was fun.
The pacing was a bit odd though. Toward the middle it really started to drag with a lot of unnecessary repetition of "he pushes too much, she runs away, she misses him and comes back, repeat", and then suddenly the story just kind of wraps up and all the main points are sort of resolved, but there are still a few lingering threads that didn't really need to be rehashed if they weren't going to be resolved.

It was so long and drawn out.

The "miscommunications" just kept happening because they would tell each other things and then immediately decide the other person didn't mean it and then sabotage the relationship. Over and over again. Holy shit. It was so repetitive I had to give up.

Everyone was either one dimensional, insufferable, or both.

Supposedly our MMC was in his 30's, but had the emotional intelligence of a 17 year old edge lord "I don't pretend that love is anything but a temporary hormonal imbalance..." gag me. You're so cool and aloof bro how do you do it. Also he has mommy issues.

Our FMC was not like other girls, because all other girls (her sister and her mom, and I guess all the other unnamed bridesmaids?) are superficial, they like name brand fashion and Instagram (and were giant bitches), and our FMC likes dinosaurs and goes to therapy. End of personality.

Our MMC loves his brother (the groom) to pieces but hates his soon to be SIL because the wedding is a giant live streamed reality show pr stunt. but like, the groom knows this? He also wants this wedding fanfare to help with getting funding/pr his personal hollywood project? He's in on it and not being bamboozled? Why are you positive she's taking advantage of him?

Also it's so fucking weird how the groom

brought the estranged mom our MMC wanted nothing to do with and tried to force a live streamed reunion/reconciliation? And then was mad at the MMC for being like wtf no? But also how the MMC immediately afterwards wasn't mad at his brother for that stunt?

 

Our FMC's sister is supposedly an actress, chose to have a live-streamed reality show wedding week, but consistently acts like a bitch as if she doesn't have any pr training of how to behave when there are cameras?

Really, I think it was the age of the main characters that did me in. If they were like early 20's I think I could suspend my disbelief a little better. 

She said “meow for now” instead of goodbye.
