Idk it could have been wayyyyy shorter. The dude had good character development which is saying a lot. Idk there is a lot of times where stuff happens and you are like huh??? Cause it's weird and idk I guess it just doesn't fit the book or characters. You can skip chapters and not miss out on anything.
This book feels like a draft, or a precursor to 服不服. The essential concept is the same, except it feels like the author didn't know enough about the investment banking industry at the time of writing, so they focused more on the romance line instead.
What really made 服不服 stand out to me is that for once, I feel like the main characters are actually working in investment banking instead of being told the longer equivalent of "they went to a bank and did banker-y things and then left work to continue the main storyline".
That said, this book was still entertaining to read, and the couple are super cute together.
我们住在一起 (wǒmen zhù zài yīqǐ), or Love in Space, or We live together (Machine Translation, MTL, title); or better known by it's adapted title for the cdrama, Love Has Fireworks.
