The Midnight Readers discussion

Buddy read for The Fine Print :) I'm ready to start whenever, so whatever works for you is good for me

I have the book 🌟

Yeah me too and I actually finished my other book today haha so really whenever you have time is good for me

I know I wouldn't get this read before this month ends so 1st..?

Yeah sounds good!

Btw did you want to make a schedule or just read however much we want and use spoiler tags?

I am fine with both options

Well I just realised I won't have time to read Tuesday, so maybe I just read tomorrow and see how far I get? And then you'd have time to catch up on Tuesday if needed. And then we can see for after that

Sounds good 👍

I finished the first 15 chapters. I'm liking it so far but it also seems lacking in a way. Maybe I built it up too much expectations haha. But I'm only like 25-30% in anyway

Yeah I think I know what you mean: basically not so much has happened between them. There is so much about their everyday lives and how they work etc. Well, that's not that interesting. But I am happy that they aren't annoying or something like that. They are pretty likable.

Well Zahra is likeable, Rowan is pretty much a dick to his employees so far haha. I do like that it's a bit more of a slow burn, but I hope it speeds up a bit soon

Haha well yeah that's true but he has started to show a bit more interest in them

Yeha I guess but so far only in Zahra. Hopefully he makes sure all employees at least have a liveable wage by the end of the book lol

I am quite sure about it 👍

How much did you want to read today (and going forward)? I'm good with whatever, think I could finish it in like 3 more days

I have not done plans about that 🤔

Well the book has 51 chapters and an epilogue and we've read 15... which leaves 37 chapters. We could do it in 2 or 3 days. 2 days would be about 150 pages a day and 3 a 100. I'm fine with either

Same, I can always catch up too if needed

Okay I finished chapter 33 and I already like it so much more than the first part. I'ts really cute and I love them together and I love Rowan (view spoiler)[ getting rid of her asshole ex (hide spoiler)] aah it's been a while since I read a proper romance and now I'm reminded I really should read them more and why I love them

Yeah this is really easy romance to read, I also love romances where isn't unnecessary drama. I was glad that he confessed already, so that it wasn't some twist at the end. And before they had something more. I love them together

I finished! I agree, I like that it came out already and that we got to see some groveling. He deserved to do some lol, he was an ass. But I love them together. This was such a cute read! I've heard this one was the weakest in the series though, so it makes me really excited about the other 2. Especially because the next one has one of my favourite tropes (marriage of convenience/forced proximity)

I agree that this was cute. I loved that this didn't have unnecessary drama. The ending was a bit too sugary for me and I have always hated the endings with someone being pregnant or them fast getting children. I would love to have the love bubble and leaving it there. But yeah really uncomplicated and easy book.

The ending didn't feel that sugary to me. Iirc there was quite a big time jump, so it makes sense they moved to the next stage in their relationship. But I love epilogues where we see more of the future haha

I just hate when so rarely we see something else, not everyone wants children and especially not in the next two-three years. But well, this is so common in romance books, otherwise I like glimpses of their life a bit later

Yes that's true. But I think for a lot of romance couples it would make sense that they want kids. Like with Zahra, it doesn't surprise me at all that she wants kids. But there can definitely be more diversity regarding romance epilogues lol

I agree! You said it so well again :D
