I love the main character and her worldview. Having learned the hard way that caring too much about other people and what they think she goes on to be... just as good a person, just a little stronger. Maybe I take this novel a little too personally (my mom’s too nice for her own good and grew up as her family scapegoat. They think I’m evil because I told my aunt she’s not as nice as she thinks she is and I don’t trust her) but I love the way she uses everyone’s negative view of her to her own advantage.I like the ML. He’s smart and capable but is so used to girls throwing themselves at him that it takes him a while to figure out how to flirt effectively.I also really appreciate how, rather than having some crazy gold finger that cheats the world, FL uses her skills in architecture, basic modern marketing, and algebra. I also think the FL and ML work really well together with her providing revolutionary ideas and him providing resources and know-how. Their romance is slow, but in a way that gives it a sense of realism.
