Fall ✍️ in ✍️ love ✍️ with ✍️ rich ✍️ guys ✍️ Okay, got it, got it.

I'm very middle-of-the-road about this: on one hand, it was a very fluffy rom-com that never took itself too seriously, which was exactly what I needed; on the other hand, the characters are capital-H hollow. The love interest's character flaw for most of the novel was that he had SO much money, and that allowed him to just buy his way into the MC's life, which felt very inorganic and too convenient. Oh, but his dad is distant and puts so much pressure on him, you guys—but don't worry, years of a strained relationship will suddenly be resolved instantaneously at the 98% mark, don't even worry about that!!

The rest of the characters fell just as flat for me, often times too quick to trust or forgive, and not having a strong emotional arc throughout the novel, and thence acting so far out of character. Everything just felt so convenient, as if everything that happened was on the path of least resistance, so that the MC and love interest would have the least amount of conflict possible. Maybe I'm just a hater, but I don't think it's interesting fiction when a rich boy just swoops in and saves the day! Where's the real conflict! Where's the character growth!! It's like deus ex machina if deus ex machina meant 'Trust Fund Twink from the machine.'
