I knew what it was going in but it still gave me the ick. Lots of grammar and weird word choice issues.

This one has been on my tbr for a while now and I have heard mixed reviews saying it was so good or that it was overhyped. I lean more towards the overhyped side. This is my second Penelope Douglas book, and I don’t think her writing is for me. I think the premise of this book was good, I enjoyed the taboo plot, but I don’t think it was executed as well as it could’ve been. I liked that there was HEA, but I wish we could’ve seen more development on boys in the story.
