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.

silke_soille's review

Ik vond het verhaal vrij “inhoudsloos”, er gebeurde heel weinig en ik vond de verhouding tussen de personages niet fijn. De manier waarop het hoofdpersonage zomaar van elke man opgewonden werd, zonder emotionele band, rekening te houden met het feit dat ze letterlijk familie zijn, of dat hij haar eerder had willen proberen te verkrachten, zorgde ervoor dat ik haar doen niet echt begreep.
