This book was a real struggle to read. I wanted to love it but it just wasn't for me at all. There was way too much angst, in my opnion, it was overkill. The premise of this book had such promise, I always love a romeo juliet retelling in a romance and so the first half was really wonderfully written. I really enjoyed the way that our couple originally comes together, but the conflict that sets them apart was completely bananas. This is my least favorite book of the series. The second half just killed any enjoyment I could have had with this story. There was so much conflict between this couple and what the heroine does to the hero and his family was nonsense. He was way too forgiving after all the harm and damage she caused to others and while she did some groveling it felt too half hearted. It just felt a bit too much that this couple went through. But the teaser for the next couple has me super excited, so hopefully that one is a much better turn out
