This is a cute, sweet romance. Plot light, definitely. The premise falls apart pretty quickly--if you're expecting a modern version of that story where the rich girl gets a job as a maid in some big manor, well this isn't that. We spend a lot of time in Madison's head which isn't terrible. But it takes up a lot of the story in a book that doesn't have great pacing. Some scenes get so much attention that when one chapter stops the next picks up exactly in the same moment. Like what's the point of a chapter at that point? It seems to be Wilson's favorite play in this book. But then other scenes get skimmed over with very little detail and no dialog. I'd have rather had more scenes fleshed out and less of Madison's inner monologue.
Thankfully, Madison isn't one of those heroines who is ridiculous or stupid or annoying so being in her head so much doesn't make this a bad read. She does make the exact same ‘mistake’ that every one of Wilson's heroines that I've read makes. The ‘climax’ is her overreacting to some reveal that makes him seem like a liar and running away without talking to him like an adult. Even though these are supposed to be New Adult books. In Wilson's slight defense, this one is probably the best justified with a good set up in Madison's family and previous relationship. If I hadn't read four other books of Wilson's where she does the exact same thing it probably wouldn't have bothered me. But at this point I'm out of patience with dramatic, overly emotional reactions that result in throwing away everything without thought or discussion. Still, it's cute. There's a bit of banter and joking around. There's an arc for Madison completely separate from Tyler. I like that they spend most of the book as friends, getting to know each other and just hanging out in each other's lives.
