2.5
I loved this book at the start. Perfectly paced, a delightful trickle of interesting information that immediately pulled me in and had me invested. I loved the MC and how she was written and interacted with everyone else.
But then. Some of the worst written romance I've ever read. The absolute worst I've ever read from a published book.
Just. No reason given to like the enemy turned lover. No path of character development. Hes just a jerk and then he confesses love out of nowhere and then hes nice and she loves him back.
Kind of devastating because this started as a 4.5 if not 5 star book but that just completely ruined it
