Enemies to lovers but not done well. The characters were constantly contradicting themselves with their decisions.

A solidly three-star read - I had a good time reading it and thought that the writing was good, but I wanted a little more in terms of the plot and the world. However, I think this one laid good a foundation with promises of further, twistier developments in the sequel. I think my younger self would have really loved this one, especially the character dynamics, so I would absolutely recommend it for its intended audience :)

I received an ARC of this book via the publisher in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

I loved just about everything about this book; from the world building , the humor, the twists and turns and cliffhangers and the internal battles and relationship between Violet and Cyrus. It was easily a 5 star read and I can’t wait for the follow up book. Why must we wait so long?!? Gina Chen is an author to keep an eye on. She’s extremely talented and creative !
