The book wasn't bad but not as good as I expected it to be either. I've read some books from the series before but it was so difficult for me to keep track of all the side characters. Bianca's family and Sloane were the only likeable side characters, the rest were all very annoying and useless. The plot was chaotic and all over the place but I liked how obsessed Sandro was with Bianca and it was evident that they loved each other very much despite the circumstances that they were thrown in. But that was the only good part about the book tbh. The pace was slow and after 60% I felt like the book was dragged on unnecessarily. Also the last half was quite predictable and the main conflict about Sandro deciding whether he wanted to be the boss or not was so confusing. So while I liked Sandro & Bianaca's chemistry, I was expecting something more from the plot but unfortunately, the book didn't live up to my expectations. So overall, I'll give it 2.5 stars.
