I got hooked from the first chapter. It was nice seeing the h didn’t cower under H torture at school. I wished it lasted longer because the bullying stopped in the middle just like that and I quickly got bored, they are now just teenagers sneaking around in the book in addition the H still withhold the h’s journal and that’s it. Either way the spice was hot but I want more problems and angst. The book would be perfect for readers who enjoyed 85% smut 15% plot.

3.5 ⭐
Much better than the previous book I read by this author. Not perfect but enjoyable.
Enemies to lovers done great. Extra spicy.

I picked this up 1. Because my favorite color is purple and 2. The title was nice - This book is the definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover”.

I literally hated this book until 90% in, and then it was just okay.
