SPOILERS AHEAD LIKE I MEAN THE WHOLE THING
I enjoyed the book and all the characters however I’m a hater at heart and here’s what I don’t like.
I feel as thought Hallie was only a virgin to satisfy the kink some people have of fucking a virgin. It added nothing to the story or her as a character. Everything would of been the EXACT SAME if she had not been.
I also don’t think this is a second chance romance Hallie never had a chance in the first place Julian forgot about her seconds after their “almost kiss”
Her last name being Welch like after the juice company is for sure something.
Hallie OBSESSION with him after 15 YEARS is excessive to the greatest extent. Name characters more creatively and not just after a random plot point/ characteristic ( cough lily blossom bloom cough cough)
Now this isn’t a complaint it’s more of a hole he woke up from a almost 3 week mental nap and planned a HUGE party in hours?? if I am wrong please correct me. but i do believe that her and Owen were supposed to leave that after noon and julian came out of his room a few HOURS before her point of view of getting kidnapped by Lavinia.
