I really have mixed feelings about this book. It is written beautifully and the characters really come alive and there is an excellent plot. However, it is very morally grey in my option. Ally is fiercely independent, which is excellent, however, when Dominic becomes infatuated with her, she constantly is on the receiving end of his good deeds. I don’t think Dom is bad overall, but this feels manipulative nonetheless. Since it is written in dual perspective, Dom’s POV creeps me out even more with how obsessed he is. Sure, Ally mostly likes him back and certainly teases him, but the power dynamic Dom fights so hard to not be a part of… he kinda becomes a less creepy version of it. As someone who had to deal with sexual harassment in the workplace even after multiple “no”s, this is just too much for me to find romantic. 3.25⭐️, 4🌶, ⚠️
