This book definitely was not for me. It was way too poor in the writing and the amount of sex scenesis just too much for me, I found myself sighing everytime it happened it wasn't that well written, their conversations wera so unrealistic and sometimes cringe with cliché lines that we find in every romance "Alex is so in love he could die", and one that made me cringe more than the others "he fucked Henry slow and deep" like..
The whole book feels like a wattpad fanfic especially with all the text messages.
The confession scene was kinda cute if I have something nice to say about the book.
I also think that it was not enough politically focused because something like that coule be HUGE irl and I'm disappointed we don't find that in the book.
Maybe I would've liked it more if it were from Henry's pov because his thoughts seemed way more deep and torned, or at least a dual pov but no.
