"I once loved a man so much that I was fixing him while he was breaking me."
That quote perfectly captures the story in this book. It’s a great read, with excellent storytelling and amazing banter—I absolutely loved the back-and-forth between the characters. I really connected with this story because I was once in a toxic relationship like this. The heroine keeps trying to help and heal him, even while being mistreated and humiliated.
I know, I know—it’s just a book. But many of us go through this in real life. The story moves through stages: the playful flirting, the selfishness and lack of commitment (rooted in the male lead’s past trauma), and finally, things shift because SHE DOESN'T GIVE UP ON HIM. That’s not a healthy approach for anyone. No one should lose themselves or wear themselves down trying to give someone what they don’t have within themselves.
All that said, it’s a good book. It’s easy to read and hooks you from page one. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t model the healthiest relationships.
