I enjoyed this and I’m thankful for the recommendation but I will admit this book left me a bit conflicted. I don’t believe it's a “dark romance”, it just has dark themes. I loved the plotline and was keen to read but in my opinion the characters were a bit messy. Honestly if the plot wasn’t as good, I would’ve DNF’d.

The FMC (Aspen) was incredibly indecisive to the point where I wanted to stop reading at times because I was getting whiplash from her.

The love interest is her brother’s best friend (Isaac) and he is 🔥 but is a bit immature and definitely is a cause to MC’s struggle to communicate healthily.

Aspen’s brother (Austin) was complete hypocrites for most of the book as well as immature and honestly a bit overdramatic.

For me the plot and spice is the only thing that carried the book. While saying that I also want to point out that the plot was actually great, the timing between drama and complications was good and I did have quite a couple giggle and gasp moments.

Overall I had higher hope and am I little disappointed but would still recommend.
