This book is so random and full of schlock, the random gang/mob thing doesn't make sense it feels like the author just inserted things out of her imagination without doing any research on how things actually work.
The moral code these characters have is bizarre and full of conspiracy theories, the fact that a lot of fans of this series find it inspiring is alarming. Yes crony capitalism is obviously bad but that's not really what they're fighting against in this book. Honestly, I don't think the author even knows what they're fighting against.
The main character in this book throws herself at anyone who makes her feel alive and thinks it's love, which is toxic af and I see how the author is kiiiind of trying to portray that, but it's also pretty clear we're supposed to find it romantic. It's shameful and embarrassing the way this woman uses people and toys with them, but it's equally ridiculous how they all treat her. Every guy she meets is in love with her for some reason and also feels like they're entitled to her. It's very disturbing in my opinion.
The author couldn't even do math because apparently Cecelia and Tobias are 10 years apart in age but 15 years apart in birth years.
Ultimately this book was way too long, super annoying, mildly offensive, and a great example of lazy writing. Could be a fun read for people who like reading shitty books for fun, but this is a bad book.
Moderate: Physical abuse, Emotional abuse, Domestic abuse, Violence, and Sexual violence
The main character is sexually assaulted multiple times but it's written in a way where she's okay with it, it's still slightly traumatic to read. She is strangled without her consent (sexually). She is drugged and tattooed without her consent and the person who does it is who she ends up with.bekelaine's review
