I would rate this book 5 stars because I finished it in two days but I just wish she ended up with

Noah

. I absolutely loved him and he was my favorite. So sad there was only one scene with him, he is absolutely amazing. But anyways, this book was wonderful! People will probably be weirded out by the fact that it is step-family relationship but once you get past it, this book is riveting. I could not put this book down and it was the first book the genuinely had my toes CURLING HAHAHAH. I just wished Tiernan ended up with

Noah

I don’t know what I expected out of this story when I heard what it was about but this just wasn’t my jam. If you’re into taboo relationships this is probably better for you. It was written decent? It kept me engaged the entire time, while I hated what I was reading, I had to know how it ended. I know they are not blood related but the constant use of family terminology was icky to me and the MC being freshly legal but still in school was just weird. She could have been college age, but I understand it’s part of the plot for her to be underage. I don’t know if this was also meant to be a bully type novel but some of the stuff that happened/ was said  to the MC was super messed up.

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.

This book is highly suggested. I can see why the beginning is very intriguing, however I wasn't a fan of the last quarter of the book. The characters I have mixed feelings about. I will credit it with being different from regular hopeful "romance" books.
