Eyes on Me by Sara Cate was a middle-of-the-road read for me—not bad by any means, but not one that left a lasting impression either. I didn't regret picking it up, and there were definitely elements that stood out in a good way.
The tension between the characters was well-done and kept me engaged. I appreciated the taboo angle of the story; it added an extra layer of intrigue without tipping into melodrama. One thing that genuinely surprised me was how the third-act breakup—something I usually dread—was handled. It was brief, didn’t drag, and spared me from chapters of unnecessary angst, which was a pleasant change.
Another strong point was the inclusion of mental health themes. They were handled with care and added depth to the characters, offering a bit more perspective than I was expecting from a book like this.
Overall, while Eyes on Me didn’t blow me away, it was a solid, quick read with some unexpectedly thoughtful touches. Worth checking out if you're in the mood for a taboo romance that doesn’t wallow too long in its own drama.
