About the book

When half your face is scarred, it's your beautiful sister who gets to become the fiancée of a wealthy, handsome man. At least, that’s what your family — and maybe even fate — decided. The handsome man will fall for the beautiful girl, and they’ll live happily ever after. Because life isn’t a fairytale. …Or is it?

    A wonderful, tender story that leaves a pleasant aftertaste after reading. Tadeush captivates with his decisive character in business matters and all-encompassing tenderness towards Hayinka. Mother Olga, with her timely appearance and creative fable, moved a mountain—Grandfather Pavlo, who also took the side of the lovers. The act of the indecisive father Stepan deserves respect—he contributed, though through others' hands, to solving the problem. I sincerely disliked Grandfather Petro. Diana wanted to get Tadeush just for her own whim and to spite Hayinka. As for Mother Natalya, I would like to ask how she imagined the future fate of her daughter-niece Hayinka? Did Natalya accept that Hayinka, scarred on her face, would dedicate her life to caring for Diana? That, even having met her true love, she should give it up because Grandfather Petro and Diana wanted it that way? It's good that the story has a happy ending! Thank you, dear Ustyna, for the opportunity to enjoy your books!

    I read it in one evening and half the night. What a wonderful story, I couldn’t put it down. Thank you sincerely for the emotions I experienced. A special thanks for the names of the main characters. In none of the books I’ve read on Booknet (and I’ve read quite a few), have I come across the names Tadei and Hayina. I sincerely wish you, Mrs. Ustyna, creative inspiration and grateful readers. I will continue to explore your books. I liked what I’ve already read.

    Their situation is interesting. Everyone wants money, so let Tadei work. The grandparents are probably satisfied and want to rest (well, they’ve worked all these years). Their parents are somehow... infantile. One just wants to paint, the others want to keep living in their dream place. And you, Tadei, work! And so that life doesn’t seem like paradise to you, here’s Diana for you. I’m curious, do the grandparents even know what Diana is like? Because from what I understand, the parents happily dumped her on Gaina. Just to avoid arguing once again.

    Kateryna PoznyakThat's how it is, in these families, the heaviest burdens are placed on the most responsible ones: the business on Tadei, the problematic Diana on Hayina.

    I started reading. I should have said that I don’t want theater. So that he would think I’m dumb and limited? Well, if you understand this, then you’re not dumb. But spoiled... Pampered... Insolently beyond belief. But if Tadei wants these 10% so badly that he has to want Diana, then that’s what he deserves.

    Where did Tadei get red roses if he had ordered pink, white, and yellow ones?
