I did not enjoy this book all that much, which is a shame because I was looking forward to it after reading Delilah Green's book. It took me a really long time to get into the story, the beginning just didn't realy interest me at all. I found the plot boring all throughout. I didn't realy like any of the charicters. If I hadn't read Delilah Green first, I'd probably have hated Astrid, as it was only her charicter development shown in Delilah Green that made me interested in her story at all. Jordan was kinda boring, sorry. The romance felt devoid of any emotional connection between the charicters, and you need more than sexual chemistry to make 'soulmates destined to be together'. I did enjoy seeing Astrid discover her bisexuality. It was refreshing to see that Astrid had no internalised homophobia, and that Jordan had clear boundaries about not being an experiment.
