Such bad grammar that it was distracting. The main character says, “Oh my,” as a response over 200 (!!!) times. I looked it up because it was getting so ridiculous. The character development felt inauthentic. The tragic backstory of the MMC was watered-down and glanced over, leaving him just looking like a kinky asshole who doesn’t want to be close to anyone, except he can’t help it because of some random alluring charm of the FMC. Also was deeply disturbed about the fact that child molestation is painted as okay, just because one of the characters found pleasure in being molested as a child. So gross and disturbing. Sigh. Would not recommend and won’t finish the series.

I have seen the movies and I was pleasantly surprised that the book was way more intriguing. The characters are more natural and have a better connection in the book. I liked the emails written it gave the book a nice format. The ending was abrupt.
The biggest thing about the book, that I liked, was the characters. They had a better connection in my opinion than the actors in the movie.
