Catie.library's Reviews > For Butter or Worse

I was shocked by this book! Leo and Nina got off to a rather rocky start. Early on, I take sides in their conflict, and despite Leo's outwardly charming demeanor, it took me some time to warm up to him.
Having said that, the author did a fantastic job at outlining his backstory, giving him character depth, and developing him. Although he made mistakes, he eventually found his way, and I adore his generous gesture. Nina is fierce. She is a successful businesswoman, a well-known chef, a devoted sister, and she will stop at nothing to guard her assets. I liked how she made room in her heart for Leo. Almost sweet and leisurely, their narrative during their fake relationship. However, it was quite warm when they put on the heat. I liked how the author included serious subjects like mental health and sexism into the lighter plot. It appeared seamless! I believed the characters were well-rounded enough for their own stories, and the plot was entertaining and simple to follow.
