⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5| 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
This book hurt me so bad omg. Please be aware that this book has an UNCONVENTIONAL HEA and is absolutely NOT for everyone.
(I originally gave this book 4⭐️ but now that I’ve fully collected my thoughts I’ve changed it to 3.5⭐️)
I had so many mixed feeling about this book and honestly didn’t know how to rate it. But after a while, damn I really still think about this story a lot.
For a debut novel the actual story was interesting the author was really able to make me feel very fond of most of these characters. In the end I see a lot of potential in this author and I’m excited to see what else they have up their sleeve.
There were a few things that i wasn’t crazy about though.
•It really felt like the author was trying to fit as many one liners in this book as she could. It got to a point where they felt out of place and didn’t actually make sense.
•The phrase id burn the world for you or some kind of variation of that was also over used in this book in my opinion.
•lastly the scene were they were helping her work threw her past trauma was handled poorly, (in my opinion) it 1000% should of been her choice to do something like that since that scene was meant to show them helping her. It should have been her to either initiate that or discuss wanting to do that as a way to take back her power.
Overall I do see a lot of potential so honestly for a first novel I did enjoy it!🖤☺️
