Going into this knowing that the book is quite beloved on social media, I was really expecting more from this.
The premise was interesting and the beginning was promising but good lord it went downhill quickly. How long of a time period did this even cover? A week? Two? I get that Wendy has extremely apparent daddy issues, but dang girl - pure love after one date and a sleepover with a willingness to kill your father? Delulu really is the solulu in this case..


Regardless of how quickly the 'romance' (and I use the term loosely) progressed, the plot of lacking and it really could have been quite good. McIntire wrote in plenty that she could have worked with to build off of, but didn't bother to enhance the story - making everything incredibly unbelievable. 

The smut was good though 🤷🏻
