I wanted to like this one so much, but I just didn't buy into these people as a mafia family. The main male character (Nate) is adorable - I liked him the most - but the way he was just immediately accepted and integrated into their family makes NO sense. When I started to agree with the (likely) villain character about Nate, I knew it was time to give up.

not enough of the Mulan stuff that i love - gender play, bisexual panic.

Combination of my distaste for the 'Bachelor' premise and the RomCom writing. 

i found the writing insufferable. i hate third person present tense, generally, however the way these authors wrote their characters thoughts only emphasised my frustration with this pov. 

if that wasn’t enough - it was - they way the main female character described (sorry, describes🥴) her writing process makes no sense. as a performer AND writer, it didn’t feel authentic. 

i didn’t really get on with the writing but, mostly, i didn’t like how much   the lead characters were sexualising each other so fast. like, i know you’re both really hot, but where is the professionalism? are the allosexuals okay?

lost momentum. realised i don’t like war novels. that maybe a problem…

Waiting for audiobook.

I was enjoying it, but I just lost momentum and have no idea when I am going to finish. I will at some point. 

Bored.
