I liked the book. It isn't a literary marvel, and is not life changing or particularly deep. It's an easy read and while it certainly has darker aspects and themes, it was a nice break from some of the denser books out there. It's a harlequin romance meets Addams Family. It's cute, kind of creepy and explores some interesting questions into mental illness. Don't over think it and just enjoy it for what it is.

This doesn't even deserve a quarter star. This is the worst book I've ever read. Wanted to find something to redeem it but no.

7/10 <3
this was a very entertaining read. it took me a while to get into it because the beginning was a little rough- but around 25% in i decided i enjoyed it enough to continue. i'm glad i did, too. this def wasn't Ru's strongest writing and seemed a little rushed at times with some editing flaws, and a good bit of repetition, but the plot was great and so was their story. the vibes and spice was great too :) 

to be honest, there were only like a handful or less of moments/ dialogue that were either very fanfic-y or cringe (that one fucking line that Vad said about being a pirate plundering her shores made me have to close the book at take a lap around the house, it was so embarrassing to read šŸ˜­ like i get what he said is poetic but that's not a bar that anyone says out loudšŸ˜­) and even then it was still entertaining. like, was it a masterpiece? absolutely not? did it struggle sometimes? yeah, a bit. but was it fun? YES. 

the plottwists and the mystery were done really well and by the end it was a rollercoaster of emotions. but then again, Ru is exceptionally talented at blindsiding you with the most delicious plottwists. their epilogues were sooo sweet and heartwarming and i just really love their relationship. atp i will read anything Ru writes.

This book hasnā€™t changed since the author published it originally. All the errors are all still there despite whatever ā€œeditingā€ it had. Feels very juvenile and wattpad-esque. I DNFd at 25%.
