Le début est clairement laborieux, mais le dernier chapitre était plus intéressant, en espérant que ce soit de bonne augure pour la suite !

I like how the book is written and how easy it was to read. Then, what was the issue for me and the reason for the two stars? It simple: I don't like how Rae keeps flirting and forcing herself on Claire the whole novel. Even when she has asked her to stop several times.

And, honestly? I was expecting a cute, fluffy GL light novel.

I will continue with the series since I've already bought the rest of the volumes, so I hope it gets better eventually

I feel like this one started to pick up once things start going off the rails for Rae—when her attempts to keep tight control of the narrative she's familiar with start to slip out of her hands. There's also some nice subtle tension with Rae just being fully convinced that the best she can do is to be there to support the woman she loves, rather than hoping to be loved in return—I kind of wish the narrative dwelled on that a little more, because it's an interesting thread.

The main weakness, I think, is that the narrative tends to over-explain itself and tends to stifle emotional moments that way. By the end of the book it's definitely getting better, and I know this was originally published as a serial webnovel, so I expect the following books to improve.

I find it incredibly ironic that the bff character gives the 'villainess' this whole monologue about how lesbians aren't inherently preditory and it's homophobic to be 'scared' of lesbians... meanwhile the protagonist is literally stalking her and she has a very good reason to be scared of her. There are some serious double standards here and also I am wildly uncomfortable. Like I get it, she's a mean girl with blond ringlettes, I would also fall in love, but if she makes it very clear she isn't interested MULTIPLE TIMES maybe you should just LEAVE HER ALONE but idk.

This was just the first volume so there’s still obviously a lot to expand on in terms of character development and plot, but it did a good job introducing itself and setting a foundation for the story. I’m looking forward to reading the following volumes. 

É um livro bem ruinzinho, mas é divertido de ler
