This one definitely wasn’t for me. A few weeks ago, someone mentioned The Worst Guy on Twitter and said that the hero in that one had falsely been classified as an asshole when he was grumpy. Of course, I went to Goodreads quickly to see if any of my friends had read it, and saw Emmalita had given it positive feedback.
