now..this is a great book and i really enjoyed how it ended…however, and hear me out, it was really difficult to get into because the beginning was really slow.
overall, though, i’m very excited to keep reading this series

i enjoyed this book as an easy read! it was written very well and it would be a good sapphic book to get out of a reading slump with but it didn’t have a jaw dropping plot and it was very predictable.
a VERY slow burn romance
