2.5

This is was an unrelentingly bleak story full of mostly unlikable characters, almost nothing that could be described as actual romance (plus very limited interactions between the FL and ML during the entirety of the story), and an ending that could barely even qualify as HFN due to how abrupt and open-ended it was.

I really enjoyed this author’s first book, but I honestly regret ever picking this one up.
