Oh my god! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ Where do I even begin??? ๐๐๐ First of all, thatโs the 8 hours of my life that Iโm never going to get it back. ๐๐ Iโve been trying to get into this book for like 3 months. I requested this book to review from NetGalley when it first came out because everyone was so hyped about this book. ๐คทโโ๏ธ But even then, I couldnโt get past like 10% mark of the book. I just keep picking this up and putting it down. And the other day, I saw this book was available on Hoopla and the narrator was Sean Crisden so I was like, okay, Iโm getting down to business and I AM going to finish this book.
Boy, did Milo the biatch try my patience and stretch me thin. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ In one word, this guy is freaking exhausting. First of all, if you have such a problem with people having money, why in the hell are you dating a billionaire??? And thereโs loving your independence and thereโs being bratty, ungrateful, bitter and just plain old bit*hy. And I donโt understand that part of Tom having a baby and an ex-husband since they are BARELY in the story. Like .. barely. ๐ And Iโm not trying to be offensive or anything. I myself is an Asian .. but whatโs up with describing the skin color for every single character in the story??? ๐ณ Isnโt it like being stereotypical and unnecessary? ๐ For example, an Asian can have tanned complexion, fair, or may be ebony. Being an Asian doesnโt mean he or she has to have a certain skin complexion. And please note that, I use Asians here as an example because I myself is an Asian. This book is just wrong on so many levels for me. I am not saying this book is NECESSARILY bad. I am just saying this isnโt my cuppa. ๐คทโโ๏ธ I feel like this is the kind of contemporary story that you get almost anywhere. I had so much high hopes for this book and boy, did they fell short. ๐ I feel exhausted, drained and dissatisfied. I need a cup of soothing tea and a good book from recover from this mess. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
1.5 Ooooooooooo child, mama needs a cup of tea stars

You know that you are incorrigible. xD
You keep calling me a brat but you are the brat in our relationship. LOL

Shoul..."
Correction: I have never ever said or even thought the word...brat. It didnโt exist in my vocabulary. But as you have so eloquently brought it up, if you want to be known as a Brat? So be it. ๐

๐๐๐ this is a hell no for me. Book one failed to impress, and now I know book 2 will also. Grab that tea and move on ..๐๐
Babe, rough book for you! Iโm surprised you didnโt throw in the towel and pick one of the many others in your library! Good luck next time and Iโll stay away from this one!

I mean it was just a really disappointing train wreck. I don't think this author's for me. And glad to find out that I'm not the only one who thinks that. :D

Good luck next time and Iโll stay away from this one!"I guess I love torturing myself. And Sean Crisden really did a good job narrating this one. I would have never finished this book if I read it. I think audio is the one what pushed me to finish. :/

Good honest review Shin, I hope your next read is better! :)
Sandra wrote: "Good honest review Shin, I hope your next read is better! :)"Thank you. My current read is definitely better than this one. Urban fantasy with a healthy dose of paranormal elements. I'm really digging it. :)
