I don’t know what I expected out of this story when I heard what it was about but this just wasn’t my jam. If you’re into taboo relationships this is probably better for you. It was written decent? It kept me engaged the entire time, while I hated what I was reading, I had to know how it ended. I know they are not blood related but the constant use of family terminology was icky to me and the MC being freshly legal but still in school was just weird. She could have been college age, but I understand it’s part of the plot for her to be underage. I don’t know if this was also meant to be a bully type novel but some of the stuff that happened/ was said  to the MC was super messed up.

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.

This book is highly suggested. I can see why the beginning is very intriguing, however I wasn't a fan of the last quarter of the book. The characters I have mixed feelings about. I will credit it with being different from regular hopeful "romance" books.

Well, what a wild ride I say. It was going well for most of this book until there was a turning point in why she choose a particular love interest in the end. I did enjoy the book don’t get me wrong just the actions of one character lashing out made me struggle for the last 100 pages of the book I didn’t feel anything for them. I also found it didn’t have much of a plot. The plot mainly revolves around the FMC. My order of choice would be Jake, Noah then Kaleb personally for me. The spice, tension and angst were fantastic though and I enjoyed the intimate emotional moments. Just wished it played out a little differently.
