Fun fact: my fave pastime is shitting on popular books (not because I’m a hater but because they’re usually not that good) but this one was one of the very few that actually lived up to the hype.

The relationship development was very organic, especially for an enemies to lovers one. A bit draggy and slow at times, and I personally feel that the part where they attended Aaron’s fundraiser event before Lina’s sister’s wedding (which was supposed to be the main plot) was rather unnecessary, but the overall slow burn was actually pretty good.

I was not really a fan of the crazy wordbuilding scattered throughout the story. I know it was supposed to be part of the Revelation, but truthfully, it felt a bit like rambling to me and my eyes kept darting to the next part of the scene because it was too unnecessarily long.

Other than that, a pretty solid book and i really liked it.
