A much better book than I expected. I picked it up thinking it was going to be some trashy YA fantasy romance,  it instead I read a book that was engaging from the first to last page, that gave me a romance I could really root for. My only complaint is that the premise is extremely generic. By the end, it became its own thing, but at the beginning I was feeling like I’ve read this a thousand times. I also saw the plot twist coming. But the way it was handled made me love the characters even more.
