I enjoyed 1-4 of this series SO MUCH there’s one that I even read twice. My love for the series is the only reason I pushed through for this book. I really thought it’d get better but no it was just such a life suck.
So much suspension of belief is required, way more so than the beginning books of the series. The hero is dumb as hell and I get he had a bad family but his arch wasn’t satisfying and how did he live so rich he didn’t know what a vending machine was or a take away lunch. Like there was too much he didn’t know idc if he’s rich it came off embarrassing. Jada was so MEH. 1. I hate that her work was her life and everyone was a “family”. Work is work, you being a family is actually a red flag 🚩 2. It’s so weird to me she kept calling him Jack after she knew it wasn’t his name.
I really wish they better set up the book. It dragged out SOOO LONG. I remember being at the halfway point and thought I was near the end and was just tired. I should have just stopped then but idk why I didn’t.
