Fuck this dude. Being ill doesn’t mean you can treat someone like that and then blackmail them into liking you years later. Not to mention that grandma can go fuck herself down to a ditch to die because bronte was a good mother and a good person
Call it 1.5 because the art is worth at least 1/2 a star. Beyond the fact its based on a BBV (Bed Before Vows) baby, this story is frustrating because the ML is privileged and arrogant (as many are in the genre) but he applies it with a uniquely broad ignorance that is just irritating. He gets better by the end of the book, but I have a hard time with his (and his family's) "Why didn't you tell me?" accusations considering what was happening when she DID try to tell him. There should have been some recognition of culpability and apologies instead of accusations. And considering how he dumped her, how can he think BLACKMAILING her back into a relationship would be better than apologizing and telling her the truth?!? The whole premise just starts out on a sour note that never really gets turned around. It has chances, but doesn't take them so it just wasn't very satisfying. Additional (SPOILER) comment in topics.
