The popularity of this book is a testament to the absolute chokehold the “enemies to lovers” trope has on the book community (I am not immune). The second half was undoubtedly better than the first, but it could not fully salvage this book for me. I had to start over twice before I felt like I had even an inkling of who, where, when or what was even going on and only continued because I was so baffled that it could be that confusing and still gain so much hype. If you want to know what people mean when they say “info dumping,” read this book. I actually think the next book will be much better now that the initial world building is out of the way, but sheesh, that was rough.
