Short review: Great debut novel, slow burn, badass female mc and goofy/soft male mc, forced proximity, good ending.
Long review:
We have an amazing italian-american female mob boss, the first of her generation, trying to continue her father's legacy while having to deal with the misogyny of the male population in the mafia, and a silly, soft hearted math teacher who's being pressured by his parents to get a date for his cousins wedding, what could ever go wrong?
What can I say? I loved this book. The chemistry between Vanessa and Nate is obvious from the very beginning, the slow romance has a good pace and it made me love seeing their character development. I have to be honest, the ending felt a bit rushed BUT it wasn't bad at all, I actually enjoyed a lot the final events of the book. This is a rom-com, with both having a great balance and making it easy to read.
It was such an amazing work by the author and I couldn't have guessed this was her first book. I can't wait to read the sequel with Mary (my lovely, deadly Mary).
