2.0
I did not care for this book at all. I only finished reading it because I was hoping it would get better. It most certainly did not. It barely has any dialogue for the first couple chapters, which wouldn't be a problem if something was actually happening with the plot (but nothing really happened). The whole ridiculous book takes place over three days -- THREE DAYS! The romance storyline makes NO SENSE. The FMC is an annoying Cinderella turned princess? The MMC suddenly changes all his worldviews almost instantly for no real reason. This book is a mess.

I reallyyy wanted to like this book, but it was not as good as I expected. It was still fun to read and kept me engaged, so I feel like the next one could offer more of what I'm looking for because the writing was lovely, and I think Alizeh is a good character. Although the entire book takes place over a few days, it still felt extremely slow and took me a while to get through. The plot isn't my favorite premise in the world, but I have hope that it'll pick up more as the trilogy goes on. In terms of romance, I was underwhelmed. I think I will like Cyrus much more than I did Kamran bc wdym you're obsessed with this girl, but you're willing to watch her die with little to no intervention LIKE ? Overall, fine, but not my favorite.
