This story hooked me right off the back. I loved the telling of the two MCs story from childhood. I had tingles while reading the first half of this book. I was feeling the betrayal and confusion of the FMC. I also wanted to know how he could do that to her. Then the confusion of what their relationship had me fully engaged.
Then after the half way point I did feel the back and forth was a little repetitive. I kept thinking something bad was going to happen at any point only to never have that happen. I also felt the reasons for everything happening was not high enough stakes.
By the end of the book, I realized my want for more higher stakes is from reading much darker romances. I had forgotten the author said this would be a lightly dark romance and it is soooo lightly dark I would put in the grey world. This was just a little fluffier than I expected it but overall really enjoyed it.
Thanks to Tara and Love.Notes Pr for letting me read this arc.
