Why the rating is so low then? Well for starters, it was possibly the most stereotypical and offensive depiction of "severe OCD" in the main character. The trans character is a stand-in for the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. The ace-aro character is the Asian character who is also dealing with pressures of being perfect academically and personally, and comes off as cold and heartless many times. There was so much potential for this story, but the terrible depictions of representation overshadowed a lot of it. Read at your own risk, I guess. I did end up getting the sequel from Netgalley before I had finished the first book so I will likely read it and see how it fares in comparison to this one.
