I was really hoping to enjoy this more than I did. It feel kinda flat for me.
I think from the start it was very obvious to me that Weston was Corrick, and it confused me and felt so sudden when him and Tessa kissed so early on. Like a build up of tension when she found out he was Weston to then learning that they aren’t so different would have been soooo good! But the tension for me wasn’t really there

The story had a really interesting premise, I just couldn’t help, but feel like there could have been more? Certain things seemed very obvious to me and not in a way that made me happy as the reader to figure out, more in a way that made me sad it was that easy to figure out? 
Maybe this book just wasn’t for me, or maybe I’ve been reading toooo much to the point I know basic book structure now? 
Either way it was good, I might read again in the future to see if my opinion changes.
