this book was so long. why? it could have been 75% shorter at least. when I got to the end and there was still an epilogue I couldn't believe it.

I did not like the characters, I did not like the plot. nica is insanely annoying, rigel is unappealing, the audiobook narration is not good. I didn't realize this was a bully romance, I just assumed it was more a forbidden/taboo love type thing. anyways it was never going to be enjoyable to me, I should have researched more before getting it from the library.

I saw the netflix adaption and enjoyed the tension and thought maybe I would like it. everything that happens in that movie happens in the first 25% of this book. I wanted badly to DNF but here we are....
