Overall a good book. It wasn't to dark but had some emotional topics. Also had a good enemies to lovers trope. I will say some of the things that the characters did were too cheesy for me. But not to bad. A little bit of spice, depending on your spice preference. I prefer minimal spice and it was a little to much for me.

Well…… I started this book 4 ish months before I finished it so salt to say that it took me a longgggg time to get in to it. (I usually finish a book in 3-7 days) I just thought that the book dragged on a bit. I think I say that because I don’t really relate to the character that much. I don’t think this was my book cuz I usually like more adult romance but I will be recommending it.
