Not sure how the author was able to fit so much into a relatively short book but she did it. Such an interesting concept this book I very much enjoyed it

What the fuvk did I just read? I actually read this because someone told me it was the worst book they read in 2023. I agree with their review of the book. 

Chapter 7 contains so many graphic things that uhhh maybe we shouldn't romanticize. We shouldn't make books about people falling in love with men who literally rape them??? I am very scared of this book. 

So glad it's the first read of the year so that I can only go up from here!!

Dramatic, easy to turn the pages, and exactly what I needed when I picked it up. It works really well as a kind of bridge out of a romance rut I was in where everything felt too same-y. 

The mfc is fairly unique to my experience and despite some quantity of decent smut it reads more as a mystery/thriller. 

Honestly I would have given this book a 4 except I really felt the mmc was underdeveloped and I thought him being Italian and constantly peppering in his language was unnecessary and read too much like mafia Romance I wanted to move away from. 

A quite horrifying element to the big twist!
