tbh there wasn’t much wrong with this book:
- it had great characters<33
- very emotional
- an interesting (albeit predictable) plot line
- humor
- decent writing
- and fun tropes!!! (marriage of convenience / grumpy x sunshine mainly)
- so much randomness ??? it was entertaining but a lil sloppy
- mica !!!! (and his dirty talk >>>)
^ out of all the professionally published books i’ve read, this probably had some better smut, but that’s also not hard to beat bc most prof. published smut sucks

the problems were:
- miscommunication, but that’s a character problem/trope, not a writing problem
- writing was a little repetitive
- again, predictable but still managed to have some originality
- pregnancy trope BUT it’s not what brings them together
^ also had the stalker trope but

- the scene where charlie blows mica while he’s sleeping and then they end up fucking ????? idk charlie doing that while he was not sober and drunk was really uncomfortable 👎👎👎 also vice versa when mica fucked charlie awake but at least they were both sober that time
