Honestly, I was excited for to read this and then it all went downhill. Nothing really made sense, Ivy was almost intolerable, and it was just EH overall
10% plot, 90% absolute nonsense. I dislike this more and more as time goes on. I basically skimmed the last 30%
3.5/4⭐
This one fell flat for me. I was expecting a bit more from this book but im not sure if this was my slump talking because I felt I would've probably enjoyed much more if I wasn't in a bit of a slump.

This was just okay. Aiden was a nice guy hero, and Ivy had some history she was going through. But I was a little bored. This is why sometimes friends to lovers doesn't work for me. There was no chemistry or tension. While there was an important story to tell about Ivy's struggle, it felt not fleshed out and felt not well executed.
