DNF 17%. before: so I definitely feel like this is going to be a slow burn book, which I’m excited for, because I have never really experienced reading a slow burn, but I hate slow reads so.... idk. the book is giving me enough to sustain interest in finding out more about what’s going to happen with the plot and characters. there are like two different plots going on right now, and they apparently merge at some point. let's se. after: idk man. i really tried liking this book, but when i start feeling like i am being forced to continue reading, it's over for me. it started off well, but the story really just did a 180 on me. it revolves around characters that i just did not think they were going to revolve around. it wasn't fun reading in my opinion. i was also expecting more romance, and this book did not deliver that for me
