Description
My death is not a testament to my love, but to my selfishness… I prayed that he would not be hurt by my death. Olivia, who saved her husband who was stabbed in place of the original female protagonist with her holy power and fell into a long sleep, demands a divorce as soon as she wakes up. “Let’s end this now. The part of me that loved you died back then.” But… “Have you grown to dislike me now?” Her husband had changed. “I’m sorry. I realized too late… This is my true feeling.” And he knelt before me. “I love you.” Why is this happening all of a sudden? Why is he so obsessed with me? With the little life left, I just want to live on my own terms now.

My Thoughts on How to Give Up on You
"How to Give Up on You" promised a European-inspired aristocracy setting with a marriage of convenience, and as a sucker for those tropes, I dove right in. The premise definitely intrigued me, but my experience was a bit of a rollercoaster.
First Impressions
The initial setup was promising. A fallen noblewoman, a handsome (and presumably cold) love interest, and the potential for some classic power dynamics – it all seemed primed for a captivating read. The writing style was easy to follow, which kept me engaged early on.
What Works Well
The world-building is decent, and I appreciated the little details that brought the aristocratic setting to life. The male lead, while perhaps a bit bland, did have moments of genuine emotion that shone through. The initial conflict stemming from the marriage of convenience was well-executed, and I was genuinely curious to see how the relationship would evolve.
Areas of Concern
Here's where things get a little tricky. I found myself struggling with the female lead's characterization. There were moments where her motivations felt muddled and contradictory. One minute she's seemingly driven by love, and the next, it's all about financial security. This internal conflict, while potentially interesting, ultimately felt inconsistent and made it difficult to connect with her. It felt like I was getting whiplash trying to understand her motivations. The male lead could also be a bit too passive, contributing to a sense of imbalance in their dynamic.

Final Verdict
"How to Give Up on You" has some interesting elements and a solid foundation, but ultimately falls short due to inconsistent character motivations and some questionable plot choices. While the setting and initial premise are appealing, the execution leaves something to be desired. I'd recommend it with reservations, primarily to readers who enjoy the core tropes and are willing to overlook some of the character inconsistencies. It's not a terrible read, but it's definitely not a standout in the genre.
