One Tough Cookie

This was an interesting romcom about a hyper-independent heroine and the man who shows her that falling in love does not mean losing herself or her independence.

Karina has had bad experiences with love due to the treatment her mother gave her when she fell in love and gave up on everything that she had ingrained in Karina. She kicked Karina out at 17 after she fell in love, got married, and got pregnant.

The prose was witty, and Karina initially got on my nerves. As we learned more about her and her relationship with Ian developed, she grew on me. Ian had to work hard to earn her affection beyond their physical attraction.

Ian was extremely patient with Karina, knowing she was worth the work. The dynamics between the coworkers were cute, and they were a found family of sorts.
