I actually enjoyed this book soooo much. I was not expecting her to say "NO" and not only that but to eviscerate him.
I respect him so much to change his whole life around and to give up everything. Even though she was the catalyst but sometimes you need someone else to put things into prospective.
Makes a person see how most people just settle but there's no substance there at all!

Way funnier than I expected. I really liked the story even though the main character was beyond stubborn about her feelings

Loved this because it was so different - its rather anti-romantic and centers around female empowerment, self-worth, and the truth that a woman doesn't need a man or children to be complete - a far cry from most romances. It was refreshing and fun to read - there are some grammatical errors but not nearly as many as some others on Galatea's platform.

I have mixed feelings about this book. It's and interesting and light enough read and well within the bounds of what's expected for chick lit. That said, there were a few times when I felt that the plot devices and character motivations were weak, and some of the side character development was lacking.

Full disclosure: I'm only halfway through the book so my opinion could change but the main characters lack of consequences for her refusal to observe social norms and constructs seem unrealistic. In fine with her not observing them but it seems like the story would be more powerful and realistic if that lack of observances caused her more difficulty and thus more for her to work through.

Also, some of the behavior seems so odd and like weak devices used to move the story along. For example, the paper towel issue at the hotel. Why would she carry them all out of the bathroom and instead of just leaving it or more likely alerting staff? It was a 4 star hotel and that's the job. I get that her character is stubborn and goes against the grain.

But the motivations. Isn't strong enough to weather the inconvenience of taking the towels out. From an adult it seems like the author needed any circumstance to introduce Lila. The same with the return for Lila, it seems unrealistic. There wasn't a need to do it, literally no benefit for the MC. Especially, when we take into context that this successful black women is realistically taking domestic orders from a wealthy and entitled white heiress in the modern day and she doesn't even bristle and just says 'yes'?

I understand that not all romance lit is deep but it shouldn't be so light as to suspend reality and real-world Norma and culture without the world-building to support it.

I liked the beginning of it, I thought the main character was interesting, but then she became really annoying!
She is super smart but oblivious to social construct. I mean even if that is the point of the book, to criticize our society and how different people see the world, it became very judgment about people who are looking for their other half.
I hated how the male protagonist had to change everything about himself because he wasn't a real person, but he was, he was just not what the main character wanted. So he really had to give up everything to be with her and in return she got everything he had and more.
This is what gives feminism a bad name, the guy doesn't have to give up everything to satisfy a women. Women and men can coexist without the other having to give up everything they are to staisfy the other person.

It started great but the ending was just too much in a bad way, all about the main character and what she deserved or what she wanted, her point of view being the only way or the correct way. I had a really hard time finishing the book. A relationship should be about two people, equals, and not someone having to be the stool for the other person's success.

3.7⭐️’s. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I loved the fact that it wasn’t so much of the billionaire finding love, but the assistant’s growth. This was a very cute and funny read. As a woman in tech who is also a logical thinker and very blunt, it was extremely relatable. . . Well, except for the billionaire part. 😂😩

I really loved this book. A breath of fresh air to read about a dark skin black woman in the STEM world who doesn't aspire for kids or even a relationship. The writer made the book come to life and I could picture this being a tv movie. Can't wait to read more from the author.

I really enjoyed this story and main characters a lot. It was a great relief to see powerful female characters and how they don’t care and also mock society’s expectations. The book was very funny and interesting. It’d be shame if it was only reachable on apps.

Super funny. The female lead is soooo funny and not your typical personality. Loved her.

It was a tedious read. Not for me. It took a mammoth amount of effort to complete reading it.

[Shelby Brynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gotta get credit for all I read, even if it's a silly story on a silly app. But actually, this one was pretty well written and very funny.

[Erin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Liked a lot of it, especially the main character Octavia, but it was too long with several extraneous characters and plot lines that could've been edited out to improve it.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

I laughed so much and loved Octavia and Gracie’s characters. Having the main character not follow female stereotypes while also sarcastically talking about them made me chuckle each time.

First galatea novel I finished! Was okay. A lot of the reads in this app I notice dragged out a bit but I did enjoy this not being to mushy
