2.0

I really wanted to love this book but unfortunately the romance and the characters in general just didn't do it for me. As someone who needs a good slow burn to feel for a pairing, the pacing of the actual romance part was too fast for me - one page they hate each other and the next they're in love - and there was a lack of chemistry between Cat and Lily for me. I also would have loved to see more diversity and piracy all around.
