2.0

Overall, I was a bit letdown by this book. I was hoping for a nice, relaxing rom-com, but this felt more like a KDrama with a bunch of plot twists. It went a bit off the rails at the end.

The book is told in multiple POVs, with some flashbacks, so there was a bit of intrigue. However, the build up to the inevitable end felt forced. The characters were generic, making it hard to really connect with them.

Ultimately, I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would, but if you're into a romance turned thriller, this may be for you.
