Well, this was a good kinda-slow burn forbidden romance that was quite entertaining with all the situations that could be quite triggering. It was a good, complete story.

This is my lowest rating of a book ever and I honestly feel so bad about it. But hear me out!!! The book is NOT terrible. It was actually pretty good but I just could not get past how awful the writing was. I know it was translated from Spanish and originally written on Wattpad so it had to go through a good amount of editing but it still felt very much like a Wattpad book. Some of the sentences didn't even make sense and left me feeling confused or like I was missing something. It was honestly excruciating to read sometimes and so it took me forever to finish the book. HOWEVER!!!!!! I still enjoyed it, was it cheesy and unrealistic at times? YES! But this is fiction and it's not supposed to always feel real. This book transported me back to being 13 and reading Wattpad fanfiction into the early hours of the morning. Noah was annoying at times and Nick was dumb but I love them dearly. I liked the suspense of all the action and I love the way Nick loves Noah. Both of the characters had so many layers to them and I enjoyed learning about them and reading their love story. I would recommend this to friends who aren't overly picky about writing styles and are just reading for the vibes. I know I'll still be reading the second book!

You know what’s good about movies- you don’t have to hear the inner monologues of the characters. I read this because the movie was so bad that I was curious. Let’s just say that I regret it but mama didn’t raise no quitter 🫡

• Loveable characters? No

I wanted to make a video on this book, so y'all could understand the disgust and frustration I felt whilst reading this novel, however, to my dismay, it will not, could not & should not happen! Everything in this book is disgusting, pathetic, gross, and nothing a human being should ever read. I have this book to blame for throwing me in the WORST reading slump known to man! I would rate this book a one, but that is just too high. I hate myself for even believing this would've been a goofy book to poke fun at like The Pucking Wrong Number, but OHHHH was I wrong!

How could the author try to make NICK LEISTER redeemable?! HE IS A RAPIST AND A PREDATOR LET'S CALL IT AS IT IS! He is not romantic. He is not sexy. He deserves to be thrown in jail for the HEINOUS CRIMES he has committed in this book. THE WORST PART is that there is a scene where an officer questions Nick and Noah's relationship, but just lets Nick go. DID I SEE THAT RIGHT?! DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME?! I cannot believe that! Nick is supposed to be some sexy man that just cannot control himself around Noah, but he is the equivalent to an animal. A disgusting, dirty one. Whichever comes to mind as you read that is the correct one :) And don't let me get started on the AUDACITY the author had to add SMUT SCENES in this book. Nick is 22. Noah is 17. I actually just gagged. Does that seem appropriate to you?

  I could go on and on about how this book is genuinely gross, but I am getting a physical headache thinking about this book, hence, why I cannot even make the video anymore.  I have no one to blame but my curiosity for thinking this would've been a goofy book. This is your sign to start reading the synopsis for a book to save yourself money and time.
