This book is not one where you would have to have read the first in the series to get. Sadly, most of the friend group are not even in this book or if they do it’s for a visit. This book seemed removed form the first that it could have been a standalone novel. All this aside I found this book slower paced and too long. The book is marketed as a marriage of convenience although the characters don’t get married until about halfway into the book. There is so much wasted time in the first half of the book.
The romance is barely apart of the story as the second half of the book focuses on the male lead’s past. It’s interesting but the back and forth on if he’s a good person or not was another waste of time that takes up the last half of the book. I liked the issues the female lead had with her parents as it felt unique although it was resolved with one confrontation. It’s not a bad book but not that great either.
