heliea 's review for:

Ruthless Rival by L.J. Shen

2.0

---

I was fully invested and loving it. The angst, the past and present mixing together (which doesn't usually work for me since I had It Ends With Us war flashbacks), and how the love to hate to love was just working. But halfway through things started getting messy and sizzling down until the last chapters that I ended up skipping altogether. The potential was there but in the end it was just too boring, messy, convoluted and unnecessary.
