WHY HAS NO ONE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS BOOK!?
I had never seen anything about it & just gave it a chance at random. This is right up there with my favorite books ever.
It is incredible. Emotionally devasting in the best of ways.
I cried, I blushed, I laughed, I screamed, slammed the book closed just to immediately open it again.
I simultaneously LOVED & HATED the characters. I’d be cussing at them at the top of the page and by the bottom I would be infatuated with them again.
This is not for everyone however. As I said, it is very emotional and could be triggering so read the warnings.
It definitely isn’t a lighthearted romance story, but it also isn’t as dark as most “dark romance” it walked the line perfectly in my opinion 🥵

I finished this book feeling seriously confused and unsure of how I felt…so I have given a 3.
I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. I was weirdly hooked, even though I am 75% sure I didn’t enjoy what I was reading. I am also contemplating reading the next book to know where the story goes.
The side characters were top tier and I cant wait for their stories to develop.
HOWEVER…
The FMC and MMC are possibly the most dislikable couple I’ve read and drove me insane with all the arguing. It was so repetitive, the conversations and internal monologues gave me such deja vu. They had very little to no romantic chemistry.
I could have read the first 10% and last 10% and skipped the entire middle. All the important stuff happened in the last 10%, but I feel like it was so vague.

This book really drew me in. The world building can be a little bit much in the beginning but it’s easy to follow. Through the middle the FMC/MMC relationship struggle gets pretty repetitive but the plot still kept moving despite that. There’s so many major plot points that go unanswered in this very long book so if that bothers you, you might not enjoy it.
