3.5

this book was addicting. it made me feel like i was binging a smutty dark romance on wattpad (typos and all). from a writer's perspective this book had a lot of telling instead of showing so there wasn't room for a lot of emotion on my part as the reader. some parts were really cringey but i physically couldn't stop reading.
