I’m not sure how I feel about this book. I only read it because of BookTok. It was interesting to say the least. 

A lot of things bothered me such as the very toxic relationships she has with all of them. I wasn’t too fond of her relationship with Jake. I’m still not sure why she was in love with Kaleb. Especially after he treated her the way he did. I didn’t enjoy the small amount of sexual violence. The spicy parts were very well written but I didn’t enjoy the actual story it was telling. To be honest, I’m not actually sure what the story was supposed to be about other than this young girl and her reverse haram.

All that being said, I think if you love dark romance, this is the perfect book for you. Others, proceed at your own risk.

<spoilers>   4/5 stars

as a woman, i am disappointed in myself that i really enjoyed this book. my feminism is just so far out of the window at this point.
not going to lie, i was rooting for jake through most of it. noah wasn't it for me and he was my least favorite. i did like how 'mysterious' kaleb was so i was excited she finally spent a lot of time with him.
towards the end though, i didn't like the time jumps. i was excited to find out how noah and jake reacted to kaleb speaking again, and their reaction to tiernan and kaleb getting into a relationship. that would've made the book better; in my opinion.
nonetheless, i think it was very good and fun overall. the writing was giving very much wattpad, but that's okay. that's what made it extremely addicting:)

silke_soille's review against another edition

Ik vond het verhaal vrij “inhoudsloos”, er gebeurde heel weinig en ik vond de verhouding tussen de personages niet fijn. De manier waarop het hoofdpersonage zomaar van elke man opgewonden werd, zonder emotionele band, rekening te houden met het feit dat ze letterlijk familie zijn, of dat hij haar eerder had willen proberen te verkrachten, zorgde ervoor dat ik haar doen niet echt begreep.
