Extremely disappointing mashup that is not suspenseful or entertaining. I should have stopped reading before the halfway point, but I stuck it out until the end hoping it would not go where it went.
Why? The character of Rosemary was incredibly lame and every single decision she makes is the most wrong choice a person could make. She needs money so she agrees to be a billionaire's girlfriend. He's not nice. She keeps staying and collecting the money. She has grand schemes and intentions and does not follow through with any of them. Like she's pretending to be an actress in a movie of her own life, but doing a really bad job of it. Of course he's hideous and controlling, that would be the expected stereotype so that Rosemary can rationalize what she does. And, naturally, there's the boy next door trope and, gasp, is he going to save her?
All in all, this was a waste of my time and I can't think of a single person to recommend it to. The writing is repetitious and the narrative from Rosemary's point of view is irritating. The plot is predictable and unbelievable. There's nothing new to see here.
I received this as an ARC from NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre - psychological, domestic drama, relationships
