The Wallflower by Sally Louise
4.0
You do have to watch those TW, but outside of that, it's just cute. How could a book about underground fighting be cute? Well, it just is. It's also the slowest burn in history. The premise is kind of silly but no one reads romance books thinking it'll be Lord of the Rings.
The bad points ...
There's a whole lot of deus ex machina in the last two fights and it was frustrating.
The book needs better editing, but it wasn't so bad that it knocked me out of reading it. I hope the next book is a little neater. I mean, that cliffhanger? I'm sure I'll pick up the 2nd one just to see what happens.

Felt like the MFC had no real development. She just kind of floats through life letting things happen to her. There's sheltered and then there's whatever is going on with her. Felt like she was neurodiverent but the author didn't want to say that.There's a whole lot of deus ex machina in the last two fights and it was frustrating.
