★★★

*Deep sigh*

This book was... fine. It was ok, nothing terribly wrong with it but just rather underwhelming.

I found both Lou and Reid to be intolerable for most of the time; Lou for being stubborn selfish and annoying (but sometimes hilarious because of it), and Reid for being a misogynistic prick. I really didn't understand how this was going to turn into a romance, how these two people who hate the very essence of who each are, could possibly fall in love. But they did, and I'll admit that the romance was actually quite cute for a while. But then it became just a weeeeee bit *too much*. Just sickening in how much they adored each other and would die for each other like ??? can we relax a little please?

By the end of it, I liked Lou a lot more, her personality really grew on me. But Reid didn't change much. He still hates women, hates witches, believes in his church, but has made Lou his only exception. I didn't find he had a whole lot of character growth like Lou did. And the ending of this kind of pissed me off to be honest, it completely went against everything that Lou had been working to prove to everyone. I'll probably still read the second book when it comes out, but it's mainly because I love Coco and Ansel and I feel like they'll have bigger roles in the sequel. I definitely won't be reading it for either of the main characters lmfao
