The first 50% were totally fine and average, kind of what I expected. Both Alex and Ava had decent manners and motives behind their action. The romance was steamy but still acceptable. But then, my jaw was on the floor the whole second half and not because of positive suprise...
First Ana Huang drops the most under-developed plot I have seen in a while. It was a cocktail of every trope in weird fan fictions. As if that wasn´t enough we happened to have the basic third act break up. That could´ve been fine if Alex didn´t turn completely alpha male.
Some advice for this man: You can´t "own" a person. A person isn´t an object. So if your EX girlfriend talks, I repeat, TALKS with a man, you don´t threaten him or say that she belongs to you. If you think that´s bad, it gets worse: You cannot start stalking your ex. STALKING.
I don´t care if this is a spoiler but I need you to know that. To all the delusional readers out there: Stalking is never okay and implies that the stalked person did not consent these actions. You can´t excuse that behaviour. "They still liked each other and both knew that" well I don´t care, Ava still didn´t consent.
Maybe I´m just too sensitive or take fiction to literal but you can´t romanticise a man that does this. Which was sad to see since both characters started well, I even liked them for a hundred pages.
If you´re still interested I guess read it but for me this crossed a line.
