not entirely sure why the characters were aged down…..this would’ve worked just as well had they been their original ages if not better. romance was not as well developed as it could’ve been for a pride & prejudice retelling, but the mystery was good and enjoyed the book overall.

this wasn’t ground breakingly beautiful. it was pretentious and so mind numbing i can’t do it anymore!!! i don’t like the characters, and whilst that’s probably the point, i have been given no reason to root for them despite this. their obsessive and codependent relationship is not romantic, it’s unhealthy and i don’t think either of them even really like each other. i can’t do it anymore and pretend like this is a good book. i feel like me and the 5 star reviewers read something completely different.
