3.5 Stars rounded up because I really did like the beginning
Where to start? Forbidden love is like catnip for me. It's my jam. I love it. The beginning of the book is pretty good. Lots of pining, sweet, sweet pining. However, be prepared for non-stop angst, drama and for the MCs not listening to each other and not absorbing the.words.being.spoken.to.them. The eye-rolling came hot and heavy towards the end.
Example (paraphrasing)
MC1: you are the love of my life. the very air i breath. i am literally your biggest fan. i can't live without you. you are the bees knees. but alas, i know you can't feel the same way.
MC2: are you crazy? you are my sun and stars. the life blood in my veins. I can't live without you either. i love you so much it hurts. but i know you can't feel the same about me, how could you?
Bitch, what? She LITERALLY just said she did FIVE SECONDS AGO. *face palm* Are you even listening to each other??? FFS...argh.
Anyway, the rest of the book is basically this convo, over and over again until they kinda start believing each other a little bit and get their HEA.
But did you enjoy it Laura? Yes, I did, even if I did start skipping over a bit towards the end. I liked both characters and I wanted them to be happy together at the end.

I couldn,t stop reading it. In just 2 days I devoured the book. It got me on times very emotional. It felt real to me. The big dilemma's, wow. So beautifull written. I like to read more of Melissa's books.
Dnf @ 40% as I just feel like there’s no emotional connection between the two.
