Got a DRC of this book from Edelweiss! I saw the synopsis and I was really intrigued.

Reading this was frustrating for me. Don't get me wrong, I found the synopsis very interesting, and the story, despite being easy to predict, was also entertaining at the very least. What frustrated me is the execution of the story. The plot was all over the place and the writing style didn't communicate with me as a reader in any way. The characters were not gripping, they didn't pull the story forward for me. There were also scenes where the characters did things that are unrealistic and confusing, and I feel like the protagonist and the love interest didn't have any chemistry. I also think this book should come with certain trigger warnings for the readers.

In conclusion, I truly think the idea of this book had great potential. Unfortunately, the execution was lacking.
