3.5/5

Very Devil Wears Prada inspired. I loved the makeover she got from her colleague.

Dominic was... Well, he was an asshole. He wasn't annoying in the first part of the book, but he was very annoying during the third act breakup. Like come on, dude, do you have to be so stupid?? Should have gone to the therapy.

Ally was annoying too, especially when she didn't want to accept money from Dom or her friends. But nooo, she will do a striptease instead and dance for a VIP client in private instead of asking for help. Seriously. Ughhhh.

And then she's angry when Dominic pays for her things. But she still accepts the clothes he gives her. Ughhh it was so frustrating!!

The third act breakup was annoying i liked Dominic's grovel but I hoped Ally wouldn't forgive him that easily when she met him for the first time after the breakup. But I have to say, Dominic's gesture was very nice.

The amount of epilogues was overwhelming and not in a good way. I hate the surprise pregnancy trope in the epilogue (though I'm glad that the characters were older than the typical mid 20s) but that would be enough of an epilogue. We really didn't need a year and 10 years later epilogues too, they didn't add anything other than the wordcount.

The book dragged on too much, especially after they got together. I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop and couldn't enjoy the story
