There are two reviews to be written here.
PLOT: pretty darn good tbh, like 4⭐️ or so. I appreciate a drawn-out plot with parallels, and this one had some pretty heinous villains you love to hate. Unashamed to admit that I was dying to know what happened next at basically all times.
WRITING: absolutely abysmal, like 2⭐️ at best. The sex scenes in particular were not good lol. Specifically because of the writing, I don’t feel like I can recommend this book to people who share my tastes.
