would’ve been a lot higher if it wasn’t for the whole wah wah she killed my baby bullshit. i was EXTREMELY close to DNFing but i was like 80% in and i hate quitting i’m way too nosy.
the hero was a dick but he was starting to grow on me until that point and after he just became unbearable!! i can deal with cruel mmcs but in this genre it felt weird for him to be so consistently mean with very little grovel. if it was fantasy e2l/dark romance/etc i wouldn’t give a shit but i can’t suspend my disbelief here so i didn’t like it it just ruined the book for me.
to end this on a good note i really loved harper and her friendship with ava (and really enjoyed the writing otherwise) so it’s not all bad!
