First of all, my poor girl Monroe has had a rough life and she's not even 20 yet. Her mom was a prostitute and addict and she became an orfan young. Then there's not one fucking man she's come across that doesn't want to get in her pants or sexually harass her to try to get into them. Ugh! Men! π The only good one was Bill, the sweetest homeless man ever! π«Άπ½
Lincoln wasn't bad at the beginning, he feels guilty about his brother's death and his parents are trash. However one lucky day, he messages Monroe by accident and things take off from there. His stalkerish and possessive behavior wasn't that bad, at the beginning. Although instalove/love st first sight isn't my cup of tea, I didn't mind it much but things escalated little by little. I didn't mind a lot of the story until we hit around the 80-85% mark and he just becomes completely unhinged. His behavior was unforgivable but if she's going to forgive him for the purpose of giving the book a happy ending, at least make him grovel, make him work for it. At the beginning Monroe was an independent woman trying to make it on her own but then after discovering everything and feeling manipulated and grossed out, she just decides life could be worst and move on. WHAT?!
So overall, I enjoyed this but there were some things that annoyed me or didn't make a lot of sense. It wasn't a bad book and I never felt the need to DNF so I'm counting it as a win lol
