Because You're Mine by Claire Contreras
3.0

Solid 3⭐️ read!
While this book was not AMAZING it was a good quick read.

Things I liked about the book:
~ I love everything mafia and this book was full of it. I enjoyed how the mafia aspect in this book was internally based looking at conflicts within a singular organization with hints of different mafia organizations to be seen in future books.
~ I really enjoyed how a big aspect of this book included dance and specifically ballet the way this was represented was really interesting and kept me reading.
~ I also liked how there was a little bit of mystery which kept me guessing about what was going to happen.
~ the book was also pretty fast paced so I never got bored because something was always happening.
~ the writing quality in this book was pretty good there were only two things I didn’t like about it but that’s probably just in my opinion.
~ I really like how Catalina was a strong character and really stuck to who she was even after everything she went through and how she just consistently had a good heart.

Things I didn’t love about the book:
~ one thing that I didn’t love about the book was that Lorenzo and Catalina’s relationship was sorta insta love (which I hate) with a whole lot of insta attraction.
~ I also didn’t like the way that he treated her and talked to her the first day of class. Like he’s her potential professor and he says he doesn’t want to let her into the class because he wants to fuck her (the first time they meet). Ummmmm So yea I didn’t like that.
~ I didn’t enjoy the excessive amount of cheating in this book. And yes I understand it’s a mafia book and there’s a lot of cheating in the mafia world but still it was a giant part of the main plot and was looked past in some scenarios where is shouldn’t have been.

There is probably more I wanna say but I forget and I’m tired so That’s all for now!
