I struggled with this book, mainly because the male lead was insufferable. His overwhelming mummy issues made him one of the most pathetic characters I’ve ever read, and it was frustrating to watch him take out his unresolved trauma on the female lead. Speaking of her, I truly felt for her—she went through so much, and yet, the moment he finally decided to change, she forgave him almost instantly. It felt completely unearned and made the resolution incredibly frustrating. This book had potential, but the way the female lead’s pain was brushed aside for the sake of a rushed reconciliation completely ruined it for me.
