I only finished this book because it was short. I really should’ve DNF’d it though.
Our characters were two dimensional. Our male love interest was a giant red flag. Who sexual assaulted our main character on multiple occasions, until our female lead decided she like him so it was okay.
The plot was half-assed. And the writing was terrible. So much of “telling” and no “showing” the reader what’s happening. Not to mention the lingo in the book consistently took me out of the world with its modern day slang.
I think this book had such potential for being more but it fell very very flat just like our characters
