I could not enjoy the writing because it felt like the author was trying to use $5 words rather than choosing the best words to convey her intent. It's not the worst prose - better than ACOTAR - just noticeable. Descriptors felt empty; pretty phrasing that meant nothing.
The over the top declarations of love were gag inducing and the characters felt stiff.
1.5 for personal enjoyment, 3 overall because I know in a curmudgeonly old lady and it's not meant for my age range. Split the difference for Storygraph.
Moderate: Murder and Adult/minor relationship
Minor: Bullying and Kidnapping

The adult/minor relationship is between a 17 year old human and an immortal fae, though there's no real maturity difference between them. The death of parents happens off page, mentioned a few times. Self harmSpoiler

Unfortunately, this book suffers from insta-love and the "she's not like other girls" trope. Also the age gap is a tad creepy, but at least the male love interest isn't as creepy as a certain sparkly vampire. And the MC has an actual personality.
