Started off sooo well for the first 100 pages or so, but I struggled to finish and even found myself having to skip whole paragraphs and sentences as I felt they added nothing. The writing was messy, and changed formality even when it didn’t need to. The smut was mediocre and mainly just cringe. The plot had so many twists to the point I was getting confused and mixed up, and not in a good tense way. 
But overall I enjoyed the premise of the book and the world that it is in.  I feel the characters were not lovable simply as they did not develop much personality and their  purpose was just to taunt Robin. 
Would have been great had the execution been better, but unfortunately was shoddily written.
