Awwww Gianna and Christian’s relationship is sooo cute. I love how she is the first one to finally show him what he’s missing. The enemies to lovers was sooo well done. Loved this book and loved this series

Oh man. What a wild ride.

What I liked:

• The character development, which was only possible because the bar was so low that there was no way but up (this is only slightly sarcastic)
• The story was very captivating. I was almost unable to put it down and probably would've finished it in one go if I wasn't so frickin tired.
• Kinda unrelated to the general plot of the book, but the parts that were in Russian... I understood some. In a way, it was a confidence boost. Go me. (For reference: I don't actually understand Russian I've just heard enough to understand some in a context)
• Also, I kind of did like the obsession of Christian, because it showed dedication, however, i doubt it stopped him from sleeping around. Men (eye roll)

What I didn't like:

• That weird ass therapist. Like, what in the heteronormativity did even happen there? (I'll get to that part later again) this woman (who had a PhD for some inexplicable reason) felt so god-damned unprofessional (it gave me a little Harley Quinn and joker vibes but without him being interested in her at all). She def thought she was the main character in her own story. Anywho.
• Heteronormativity: why does it exist? Every women who appears (or doesn't) in this book, is attracted to Christian and wants to get in his pants. Why? As an asexual, I can't relate. And what about lesbians? They exist? And people have different tastes, not everyone's gonna like him. Especially when he's such a douche to everyone.

The Tropes: kinda enemies to lovers
Triggerwarning / content warnings: infidelity, abuse (physical and emotional), manipulation / gaslighting, violence, assault, harassment, rape, stalking, drug use / drug abuse
Mood song: k. Flay »High enough« (slowed down)
