I picked this book up and ignored reviews because I actually don't like to read reviews before books. Overall I wanted to say that unfortunately, I don't particularly like the main love interest, and the pacing towards the end is a bit stilted to say the least. However I did find the writing style enjoyable.
Overall it's a book to pass the time with during quarantine, and certainly not an awful debut novel, even though certain plot points and pacing issues could be fixed, as the start of the book felt quite slow.
Moderate: Misogyny, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence
