Took me longer than I thought to get into it.
Normally, I love these types of stories, and it wasn't too slow-paced, so I should have gone all into this book. However, even the scenes that should have been gripping, I felt slightly bored, and it wasn't until the last part of the book that I finally managed to get interested in the story.
I'm not sure what it was, if I'm being honest. But because of all that, I simply have to put it for 4 stars, even though it's more like 3.5o stars if I'm being honest.
Vivian is a spitfire and not a doormat she pretends to be in front of her parents (a part I understand as I also come from a culture where family and elders are held in especially high regard and expected to receive all the respect due to them). Dante is a little too tightly buttoned and definitely needs a whirlwind hurricane that is Vivian.
