This book was interesting and weird to say the least. I honestly am not sure how to feel about it but I’ve been thinking about it a lot so I guess that’s a good thing? The book has themes that are supposed to have a larger meaning (iykyk) that I didn’t quite know what to make of.

'She is happy. Her husband is happy. The world is theirs. I was made for him.'

I have mixed feelings about this one. At first, I was intrigued, especially with the whole book starting with a contract of some sort. Then, I quickly realized what was happening and I did not care for the story anymore.

'He loves her. He will love her until the end of always.'
Since this is a short story, my review will not be a long one. The writing style was a choice... The author wants it to sound mysterious probably but it is just confusing. Fortunately, it was short so it kept my interest for the hour it took me to read this, hence the 3 stars.
The characters were simple, there was no depth to them at all.
Spoiler It was a bad mix of Bluebeard and religion.
