Another from the friend stack.
This is a very talky / tell-y book. There's a lot of internal asides of self-talk and observations and arguments. Some work, some I wish were seamed into dialogue or action rather than them continually reminding themselves of various things. It got tiring, and bogged down. Particularly the feeling-so-lusty self-talk that never evolved; it was always how HOT he was for her but he COULDN'T act and he HAD to remember that. Meanwhile she's thinking similarly.
Give us some variations and growth.
This is an unreal world they fall in love within. Which is fine. But not a lot challenges them beyond their own desires (and fighting them) as they come to realizations, so I hope they're able to figure things out together once no longer in the cloister of the rarefied hotel.
The prose leans into purple, the characters and ending surprisingly worthy given the relationship is basically run on horniness. (But then mutual respect and deciding it's love.) Redemptive, but it's ham-fisted. His hang-ups and angst were very old trauma he claims to have gotten past but they motivate his every decisions; she has her own traumas but at least decides it's time to confront them and reclaim them as hers, for him, to move on.
I am glad for the ending being them not running, or hinging on a very thin misunderstanding, but rather talking it out and admitting the Big Things that lead to our HEA. That was nice and welcome.
