i wanna start by saying that it breaks my heart that i didn’t enjoy this, claire wrote one of my favorite books of all time and always has incredible ace rep, so i went into this with high hopes and full belief that i’d love it. sadly, it was not the case. this is not a bad book by any means, i just never connected to the plot or characters, and that simply made the entire thing boring and too long. also, i didn’t even like the romance and it might be because i thought the love interest would be someone else, but the romance itself was boring and bland and lacked chemistry and yet was also somehow rushed and made no sense. i fully believe that if xander had been the love interest, the whole entire book would’ve transformed and start making sense and could’ve been AMAZING. sadly, that is not what we got so i was left seeing the huge potential while simply being disappointed by what i got instead.
ALSO??? THE REACTIONS AND COMMENTS OF THE LI AT TIMES HAD ME LIKE HELLO??? IM SUPPOSED TO THINK YOURE MY DREAM MAN???? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS MAN SAYINGGG NOPENOPENOPE BYE
