At First Spite by Olivia Dade
3.5
emotional lighthearted reflective relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Deeply, deeply unserious novel. But it was a lot of fun. Great mental health rep (imo), decently funny and not too cringe- I really liked Athena's arc! Having someone older who isn't sure of what they want to do is refreshing. Matthew is textbook definition offline boyfriend which yes is extremely funny. Also love the hearts to monster-romance novels, hell yeah they deserve their time (Olivia I support you if you go into that territory). Twas a fun romp, if a little tropey.
