I listened to this on audio and I was a little disappointed that although there were two narrators the girl was still doing the men's parts and the guy was doing the women's parts. It was an okay story line. The epilogue did stun me cause I just wasn't expecting it. But for the most part it doesn't feel super stalker-y to me. Almost like a reverse Harem and the stalker getting rid of those in the Harem and I just wanted to focus on the stalker versus the other men that were interested in the FMC. I also didn't like that not even just in the stalker situation but in lots of situations the FMC was kinda dumb and had no sense of self preservation, but it was alright. it was a book. I do like that when the twist happens to reveal who the stalker is, the audience can make a guess but it doesn't get revealed until it's revealed to the FMC. Twas alright lol
