This one unfortunately falls short with its rushed pacing and convenient plot developments. The character motivations felt inconsistent, particularly when the main character completely reversed her feelings about the relationship within mere pages, and the world-building lacked the depth needed to make me truly invested. The writing relied too heavily on telling rather than showing emotions, which kept me at arm's length from connecting with the story.

The intimate scenes that finally appeared after the 60% mark felt awkwardly written and somewhat disconnected from the characters' emotional journey. While the premise had potential, the basic execution and underdeveloped relationships left me uninterested in continuing the series. This book might work for readers who prefer quick plot resolutions, but I needed more substance and believable character growth.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
