This book is so short but drags. The motivations of people didn't make sense and honestly, I could not care enough to finish.

I literally went through the glossary. We need different edgy words for child predators and potatoes? Really? This is actually ridiculous 

There was a constant back and forth of "oh, the king is nice, oh he's horrible, oh this knight is so nice, oh he's actually a dick", and like the FMC is special? But not? But is? Idk man. Just very mid.

Divergent Knockoff a la Wattpad, but bad

I just realllllllly don't care lol

Everyone was just annoying, and at 13 percent I felt no depth. She revealed everything at once upon first meeting whats-his-name and I didn't feel the need to like... root for them. The ex was cartoonishly evil and the team she worked for was annoying like "yeah!! she's our sister!!!!!" it was cringe

I'm more disappointed than anything. I feel like Allen wanted to write 2 books- a TikTok stalker romance, and a like, revenge storyline. This is fine, but she only really promised us the first. Life is too short to push through. Also the new cover is ugly and sorry if it's shallow, but I kind of hate it. I love the consent and discussion around sex! I'm rooting for it! But this just wasn't fully what I was promised. Maybe I'll return later to it, but not now. 

This book in a fantasy world uses "g*psy" and also does more telling than showing. Like the author wants us to listen to this hot guy talking about this woman and how cool and strong she is. But I didn't get any of that. People praise and applaud her and she's a water maker, which is cool, but that feels about it.

Bruh I'm just straight up not jiving. Tessa Bailey is popular but it feels like every other contemporary romance I have read.

I was hoping for a cat/mouse and a chase, as advertized on social media. Nope. They met IMMEDIATELY and knew who each other was. There's no intrigue or challenge. Sigh.
