This book is amazing. As long as you can get past the small amount of world building in the beginning, you'll love it. A lot of plot twists that I was not expecting happened. Jude is a very good main character.

Lots of people promoted this as an enemies to lovers but it's far from it. Don't go into this book thinking that because otherwise you get disappointed when the story is actually good. Characters infuriated me but at the same time their choices and decision somehow felt so human and understandable. Reading it felt like getting hit by a car and before you can recover you get hit by another one. Amazing story telling.
