Off late I have read a few office romance novels most of which included billionaire bosses as male protagonists. This book despite having that commonality of office romance with a billionaire boss, was a refreshing change. Ophelia Valentine is lovable and cute; and I love that she is confident in her own body and chooses to make herself a priority. The billionaire boss too, for a change, is not an egotistical, possessive, spoilt, stalker brat.
The food references are enticing. I used to consider myself a foodie but I doubt I can rival Ophelia's love for food and sweets. It is also interesting how all chapters are named on desserts, drinks and delicacies.
Overall, the story is simple and somewhat relatable as far as toxic relationships are concerned. The toxic relationship between Ophelia and her boyfriend seems all too real because it is all too prevalent between many real-life couples. However, it is heartening to see how Ophelia's friends and colleagues are rooting for her all through. The language used and the interactions between friends are sweet. Ophelia's billionaire boss, despite being socially awkward and blunt, is cute.
I actually read the book in one and a half day in the middle of the week, which I think says much about the happy and endearing the book is. Not just that, I recited the book to my teenage daughter over two nights and am absolutely fine in case she picks it up to read (which I am not so much in case of most of the billionaire romances that I have read so far).
P.S. Surprisingly, I am doing much better than my expectations in this year's 12 books in a year resolution. Since I am picking up most light romances to read, I am already 8 books down. But, I am not posting reviews for all books that I have read as I don't think that all of them deserve me spending time to write a full-fledged reviews.
