I'm never usually a 'love at first sight' kind of reader, but this was combined with such a heady mix of star-crossed lovers and enemies-to-lovers that I think my entire brain chemistry has been rewritten.

Although the writing was veryyyyy beautiful and lyrical, the book was boring and could’ve been written in 100 pages.
Nina Varela can write beautifully. I hope she learns how to write plots and twists too.
