Painfully annoying writing. Everything over the top and the characters were the worst.

I somehow both hated and loved this book. I found a lot of the antics of the main love interest deeply cringey and the inner monologue of the main character really frustrating. I reaaaaallllllllyyyyyyy hated the whole he-won't-take-no-for-an-answer schtick, as it was coming off pretty stalker-esque. At the same time, I am now invested in what happens to these two characters. I'd classify this as a decent beach read with sprinkling of filth.
Reading about this toxic relationship makes you feel complicit. I have so many issues with the FMC. She was the one doing the slapping, but believe me, I wanted to slap her just as hard.

I started reading this not knowing it would be a series (yes I see the Arlington hall #1, but sometimes that just means a book in the same universe). So this book ending on a cliff hanger made me joyous. Mainly because I love when the occasional books doesn’t have an HEA. Things I loved about this book, I LOVED that the fmc didn’t automatically fall at the MC’s feet. I love when they fight back because when they just agree on everything even when the MC’s a jerk I’m bored. So that was interesting. The “plot twist” was interesting and reminded me of the After series. But ya know adults.
