Now that we’ve added the “I can’t be with her in order not to ruin her professional reputation” it’s a bit better but I can’t really get into it anymore. They’ve colored themselves immature and no matter what, I can’t overlook it. It can’t take me 35%-50% of the book to like the characters and get behind them

The whole not telling her brother about their feelings is such a non issue. The stakes are so fake. I’m so tired. Idgaf

The brother being the reason they’re being kept apart is so fucking dumb. How immature.
They could have had the second chance trope, a no-dating clause in his contract as a rising Formular 1 star - literally anything that would be more feasible than her brother being an obstacle. The stakes are just play-pretend and I cannot get over it, especially with how often it’s brought up.

“He’s hot”
“I want to keep it professional”
“Sure. Hey, how long you reckon before they’re fucking?”
(And they proceed to talk about them in a way the FMC doesn’t like or want to be perceived as)
Maybe it’s just me and my circles but what friends talk like that? I also don’t casually call my friends bitch.

I’m so annoyed and icked out by the whole “omg we need to be so careful not to make another mistake” and just harping on about that. It was ONE KISS. And he’s her brother, not a fucking assassin. GET OVER IT. talk about it. Behave like the grown ups you’re supposed to be. It’s so redundant how they keep bringing it up as a reason to stay apart. Grow the fuck up good lord

Am I the problem????
Another oh I’m so insecure because I’m tiny and baby-faced and skinny FMC.
They KISSED. ONCE. Seven months ago, sort of want each other but he keeps saying kissing her was the biggest mistake of his life. They can’t be together because her brother is his best friend and that wouldn’t end up pretty? YOU ARE 25 FFS. Jesus fuck get me out of whatever the state of books are right now.
