You know what really sucks? When you start a really good book and people want you to “be apart of the real world”. (which can also probably be known as trying to read on Thanksgiving weekend)

Well this is one of those books. I did not want to put it down. And I read it in less than 24 hours while also doing irl stuff lol

I obviously love the dynamic and chemistry -and really everything- between Nico and Elena. But I also enjoyed all the side characters as well -her cousins, his cousins, her brother and sister, her mom and grandma, Christian and Gianna (which I think have their own book), Sebastian… etc-
I was never bored while reading this and would 100% read again. Everything about this book is just…mmm

The overall pacing and writing was commendable, got me out of my reading slump and honestly wasn’t as cringe or gross as I expected it to be. It was surprisingly good but that’s probably because my bar was quite low.

I saw this all over booktok so I had to try. It was good with loads of tension. Story was good but it has a lot of the typical tropes. Close proximity, forced marriage, and the worst… miscommunication trop. Saw who the next book is about and I’m not too excited. They were not compelling characters, at least in this book.
