Originally rated this book a 4, but looking back on it months later, because I'm rethinking it over and realized just how messed up this book is. I don't know how to properly spoil, but if you don't want to read attempted drugging and abuse, then don't read this book. I thought it was going to be a lighter book to read, but the straight up abuse is a turn off. This book did drag on at some parts, it was written good, but the fact that there was also no true forgiveness or resolution after the two main characters issues is kind of saddening. I own the second book but I don't think I'm going to read it. The conflicts between our two MCs gets annoying, too, as its one after another.

But thats all just my thoughts on the book.

I have complicated feelings about this one as the characters make and also break the book. The devotion of our main character towards the prince was pretty annoying and stupid in the first half of the book, then the prince does a 180 in personality and he's more likeable so it makes sense that y'know, they can have an actual relationship. After that it's pretty cool.
The writing of this book was bit hard to get through as it felt like I'm reading someone's dream state, and the paragraphing was....not great at all.
