There were a lot of things that I liked about this book. I really enjoy that for the first time in a stalker romance, I actually got a good amount of him stalking her, usually is just 10 pages and that's it. I like that Van had great friends and thy actually cared a lot about him and did everything for him. I liked the fact that violet stood up for herself even though she was the shy type. Sasha was the best friend everyone wants and needs. I just wished the book was a little smaller just because I got a bit bored sometimes. I'm very excited about Sasha story because I got a very good feeling about her match.

very anticlimactic and didn't have any detail. everything was told really quickly and from the surface. i found myself thinking "how convenient" at multiple points throughout the book. everything just seemed to workout without anyone having to do anything. it wasn't realistic. i mean, sure, this book's whole theme is a woman falling in love with her stalker and them living happily ever after how realistic can you expect it to be? but some books just have a way of convincing you it's realistic even if it's for from it and this was just not it. everything felt too easy. although i did like the part where violet learns micheal is not actually her father. i was so focused on violet and van that i hadn't put any thought into why her dad hated her. it was quite literally the most exciting part of the book and that didn't last long.
i was so hyped after reading the wrench kings series it introduced me to this author and i was so excited to read more of her work. i just can't believe this was written by the same author. i'm hoping the next book is better because i love what the book is about i just hope it was written good.
although i complained about a lot of things i have to say this book was not bad i enjoyed this book. i just think it could be so much better.

Just when it starts getting really good it dips, the momentum builds and instead of climaxing it just levels out. Is it dark? Is it light? No idea because it heads strongly in one direction then just stops. Also comparing him lying about something as he was afraid of upsetting her compared to her covering up awful things that happened to her is a dangerous false equivalency
