I expected violence, I've read all the trigger warnings ahead of time, and I can stomach a lot of stupid melodrama, enemies to lovers is in my top five tropes. From the summary, the book sounds fine. But I hated it from start to finish.
Plot-wise the biggest criticism is the gratuitous amount of trauma and suffering. It's so excessive it becomes funny because every sad thing imaginable has happened to these poor characters.
A deeply 2014 Tumbler reading experience.
Writing wise a lot of plot points get dropped and forgotten, probably like 70%. The tone is wack, going from depressing to flirty way too quickly. The pacing is lousy. Some scenes will drag on without an apparent need for them to last as long. On the other hand, a lot of moments felt cut off because we would switch POVs and it is another day.
