Anna (20yo), despite her family’s wealth and good name, is floundering socially. She needs her father, but he keeps getting distracted by Graham and his investment ideas. When Anna’s father gives Anna decision-making power over the next harebrained scheme, Anna willingly agrees to spend a week with Graham and his family to make sure Graham stays away from her father for good.
Despite using one of my least favorite tropes, Walker’s characters won me over, and I enjoyed the story. The enemies to lovers trope, in this case, opened readers to the magic of withholding judgment of others—and being humble enough to admit first impressions are not perfect insights to character. My favorite part was how Anna ends up describing her love through an analogy of investment and the perspective change it causes in the characters.
All of the characters are English. The mature content rating is for alcohol use, mild innuendo, and kissing. The violence rating is for a joke about murder.
