Ooh lala did I love this? Yes I did. Do be aware that this is very much of a character driven story so there isn’t much of a heavy plot to it. Also because it’s the first book in a series, I’m quite sure it’s a lot more of an introduction as the story progresses along the series. Nevertheless, it was a good book. 

Cara. I LOVE CARA. I saw so much of myself in her to the point that when I’m reading about it from an outsider’s perspective, Cara seems quite like a headstrong and pessimistic woman. She is humorous, character driven, intelligent and truthfully, quite wonderful. The way she thought was intriguing, the way she dealt with things , a lot more intriguing, and I love the way she brought up her issues with William. 

William. Man, I kind of despised this man. I love a intelligent, strategical, calculative & persuasive man BUT THIS MAN WAS CRAZY. Look at times, I thought he was annoying and persuasive and he quite literally just did not respect Cara’s wishes (type A alpha, really). Overall though, William is quite interesting, but damn he’s obsessive. Although, he does admit his mistakes when pointed out, he apologises. Bonus points for u Will. 

Good read.
