Dnf @ 69% - It's sweet and fun and fine but I felt like I got it and didn't need to read any further. Would've made a great comfort movie in like 2004

I somehow missed the single line in the synopsis that mentions this is about a weed farm. I simply don't want to read about that, I find the topic obnoxious. The actual writing seemed pretty alright though

This has one of the worst, most annoying, most frustrating, nonsensical opening scenes I've ever read, which goes on far too long and is largely just cyclical jabbering. I simply don't think there's any book that could recover from such a bad start.

The main story and world of the book is interesting and there's a lot of solid plot outside the "romance" but then randomly it'll break into the thirstiest horniest mental dirty talk. I put romance in quotes because there's literally no attempt to make this romantic, this is erotica dropped in to a fantasy plot. There's is no build and development to them as a couple, there is only graphic discussion of how they're going to have sex on the prescribed date. Yes the sexiest thing, scheduled and over planned dick appointments. Please authors just call things erotica, you don't need to pretend you're writing a romance if you're only interested in sex

There is a lot of good in this book so I'm sad to give up on it, but I kept setting it down and I fear it would take me a month to finish. The one crucial thing that pushed me away from this book is a lack of warmth. I simply can't get on with a book where every character is bickering with every other character in every single scene. The only moments of peace or unrestrained exploration are in solitude, which is almost always broken by someone running up to squawk at them. It feels like it both impedes the story of the book and the enjoyment for me.
