The story for this book was great, although I don’t think it played out as well as it could have. The first half of the book was really slow and not a lot happened. It just wasn’t memorable overall, as I had to really think about what previously happened when I picked it up the next day.
The narration was good, but I wish they would’ve cast a male voice actor for Kamran. I just couldn’t get the full effect with the deep, slow voice of a woman.
I love second-half Alizeh who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. When she finally loses her temper, we get a glimpse of who this character was meant to be.
Kamran is a little whiny, but falls head-over-heels for Alizeh in the silliest way. He just can’t seem to keep his eyes off of her, which I think is adorable.
Overall, a solid 4⭐️ book. I’ll will definitely be continuing with the series.
