Book read like it was written by an AI. Pretty sure the author has never had a conversation with another person in their life based on the character dialogue. Additionally, having chapters from the parents in the book cuts the flow of the story to the point where I couldn’t even read their chapters as they were poorly written and pointless to add their point of view.

after much thought after reading, i’ve collected some of my thoughts. the main one being: i’ll never understand people who read about a morally black character and then get offended when said character (e.g. killian) does something morally black. was it wrong? yes. am i shocked or clutching my pearls? no.

killian was funny and charming tbh...
glyn was… okay. i wish she had more personality than just her inferiority complex and mental health issues but she’s a woman and rk doesn’t know how to add character to the fmcs without making them crazy

i liked this way more than i thought i would and this is probably my most annotated book on kindle to date???

I will read the other books in the series because I’m curious what happens next. It’s entertaining to read. I hate Killian. Their relationship isn’t adorable and I don’t ship it.

Way too over hyped. From an ethical standpoint this book is very debatable.

I really enjoyed this book. I do have some mixed feelings about Killian, but for the most part I loved his character. I love how protective and possessive he is with Glyndon. I love that because he loves Glyndon he was willing to do things with her in mind. The chapters in his pov were fun to read. I've never read a character quite like his.

Glyndon is just a sweetheart. I love how much she cares about everyone. And I hated that Devlin used her compassion and empathy for others against her. I'm so happy he got what was coming for him in the end.

I will say I think my favorite character so far in this series just from this book alone was Brandon. I can't wait to get to his book. But I'm also excited for all the other characters books as well. 

I absolutely recommend this. And I'm excited to get into Creighton and Annika's book next. I really loved their interactions in this book, so I feel like theirs is gonna be a really fun one.
