I was told by everyone and their nan this book was a devastating beautiful romance. Like a heart wrenching love story and that typa book is sooooo my shit that i got hyped and i ruined it SO i’m here to let you know if you’ve been told this also you ain’t getting that so lower your expectations and try again.
the romance, yeah it’s okay. cute ig. literally nothing special though. it had potential don’t get me wrong but it just fell flat, there was like no tension, no build up, i wanted so much more and it didn’t deliver.
the book really needed to be longer (vary rare for me to say this so you know it’s something). i wanted more world building, more backstory, more relationship development, MORE ANYTHING PLS OML but it was just very surface level meh. half of the book was MISSING istg.
not to mention how much Ms. Iris pissed me off in the ending. like is this bitch frl? she’s so meek, girl just lays down and does what she’s told dosent she. no anger no passion no emotion nothing.
Spoiler time. I hate that they got married, it felt so rushed and like WHERE WAS THE DEVELOPMENT!!! bro where was the build up of this relationship. i genuinely felt like chunks of the book were ripped out, there was so many times where i was like i’ve got to be missing something here, i’ve got to because if i haven’t and this is the romance yall hyped up i’m going to lob this book across the fucking street. Also can we just discuss her dick brother. LIKE BRO man said ‘yeah i didn’t have time to save you both’ while roman was following her the whole time. actually that bitch boy went out of his way, SPENDING MORE TIME THAN IF HE JUST SAVED THEM BOTH, to like keep them apart. It was literally more effort and energy and time to not save him than to save him and forrest dick over here was like i’m gonna fucking go out of my way to fuck over my sister. AND THEN HIS SISTER, little ms walk all over me pls, was like yeah bro no worries you just basically killed my hubby and left my friends to die but me and you we still cool. LET ME COOK YOU DINNER FORREST. LET ME BANDAGE YOUR WOUNDS. LET ME GIVE YOU HUGS. ofc i’ll follow you back home with no fight and make no complaints. i’ll go a step further i’ll promise not to leave you even tho you’re on the WRONG SIDE OF THE WAR.
anyway…had to get that out.
overall reading this book is reminiscent of having an interaction with the male species. i’m left feeling fucking irritated and disappointed.
writing was pretty though and i’m a sucker for pretty shit so…saved it. BARELY.
