3.25
FMC (Allegra): 3.5 (the layers of her traumatic history were almost comical. Give the poor girl a break. Whatever happened with her art?)
MMC (Jared): 3 (he wasn’t tall enough to act like he did and he was a first rate asshole for half the book. He redeems himself, but his slootish ways were not hot)
💕: 3.5 (they definitely vibed but they also didn’t come to any consensus together about the future of their relationship and their fears of abandonment - “words weren’t needed” - okay, Jan)
Plot: 2.25 (I love a good marriage of convenience with high angst, and even the farm drama was kind of interesting, but her having a hit out on her from some random off-page pedophile was not it. Especially since it was introduced and resolved IN THE EPILOGUE)
🌶️: 3.75 (almost too many scenes 🙈)
