It was ok. I hated Faith for about 70% of the book. She hates him because in their first meeting (where she acknowledges he doesn’t look well) he was standoffish and rude, and just form THAT interaction she is rude back to him, even years later, and keeps going on about how pretentious he is when she’s treating him like that without knowing him? I don’t know, she just acted like him not wanting to talk to her was the same as murder or something it was crazy. I also didn’t like that they didn’t really interact (as each other) until like halfway through the book? I kept gaslighting myself into thinking

Spoiler

Maître wasn’t actually going to be him & that she wasn’t going to end up with him & it was just a shitty boss situation. Then he did a 180 in personality and clues led to him, and then all of a sudden she IGNORES all the clues & claims it’s the French guy?! And I was left feeling like I was crazy and made it all up & it just turned out she was a dumb fuck who ignored all clues ever because she didn’t want to believe the truth? She made me so tired.

I’m also real over rom-coms having clumsy heroines? What is funny about that? & their always the most headstrong argumentative type people, but then constantly fall, break things etc? Why is this a thing? Every time she fell I wanted to dnf, and she fell SO much. Imagine making falling a part of someone’s personality lmao.

The book did grow on me by the end, but it was a rough ride getting there and if it was longer I would have dnfed. There was also a LOT of errors in this & it definitely needs a better edit.
