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.
