The Paradise Problem

I stayed up way too late last night to finish this. Matt turned off his bedside lamp and said, “I hope it ends with love, and kisses, and sunsets...” as he started falling asleep.

“How about sex in an industrial kitchen?” I snickered.

“That sounds unsanitary,” he murmured. “And also dangerous ... so many knives and ... cheese graters ...“

And I busted out laughing and couldn't stop.

Fake relationship, check. (Or, I guess it's a real marriage, but one of convenience, so they still end up playing at fake relationship.) Good communication between H/h, check. Excellent banter, check. I have not watched Succession or anything but I suspect this story is similar in that all the family stuff is freaking STRESSFUL when it comes to their business, their insane wealth, and their interpersonal relationships, and the father's attempts to get our H Liam to take over as CEO so he can be under Dad's thumb FoReVeR.

I enjoyed it a lot, but there's a lot of suspension of belief required for the legal stuff.
