Awful. How did this go viral?  

👎🏻. Nope.  Please do not read this!!!! 

 I only finished because of a buddy read. I didn’t want to let down my friend. 

It is really poorly written for a published book. A mountain of m cliches and tropes are used and rolled out. The sex scenes aren’t engaging or appealing. The possessiveness is ick. And the dialogue is a dumping ground for neat statements. As if the characters romance has given the angry MMC the cliff notes of if he’d used  professional psychotherapy to understand his feelings fears and needs.

The love story is cute but I think my favorite part is Ani’s character and how she was portrayed (aka how she wasn’t just referred to as a girl with autism but instead a fully fledged person… how it should always be but isn’t always the case). I also loved how much Rowan showed his emotions because masculinity doesn’t equal being a robot.

The book was overall a good romance, and the diversity was great to see, however in my opinion, the book was suddenly ruined when

the epilogue showed that Zahra was pregnant.

Another disappointing part of the book was

how quick Rowan seemed to overcome his mental struggles in the end, as it seemed to just resolve instead of show that he was working on himself and improving instead of Zahra constantly forcing him to overcome his issues.</spoilers>
