I did not finish this, I put it down half way because I lost interest so I read another book and when I finished that, I didn't feel like picking this back up.
The repetitiveness and toxicity that was Dalton and Evi's 'relationship' was irritating to read... Maybe I just didn't have the patience for the characters.
I really didn't like the characters dialogue; there was a lot of 'brother'/'bro' and cheap "brotherly" insults that fell flat and didn't sell the brothers' bond like it was intended to. However, all the writing minus the dialogue had depth and simplicity that was beautiful like a warm cup of tea, but then the dialogue would take place like a sudden bump in the road and I spilt my tea everywhere. The dialogue just didn't match the beautiful writing - it wasn't realistic and felt very cringey.
I will read more from this author because her writing style was unique and pleasant to read.
