I would instantly give this book 5 stars but there were just times where I felt it didn’t deserve the full 5. I LOVED the fact that this wasn’t a typical ‘I want you but I can’t have you’ book. Their personal issues were we thought through and I felt like I was making choices with the characters. I loved their development and how well it went with the story.

I love me a good Ana Huang book. This one was long but it didn’t feel unnecessarily long. Sometimes her chain of events can feel super repetitive but i didn’t feel that way about this one. I loved it, but I didn’t LOVE it like I do Twisted Games or King of Sloth. But the crossovers from other books have me kicking my feet every time.

this story had a lot more flaws than i'm usually able to put aside in an ana huang book. i dont particularly like how certain character conflicts and motivations were handled in this one writing wise, but that kinda stuff i can sometimes ignore, though mostly in the romance genre (im a just a girl and i like love and spice and whimsy, idc). so in all honesty and seriousness, i did have a lot of fun and i'm not ashamed to say my rating is mostly carried by the fact that i just really missed love stories and i'm glad to be back reading them again.

so if you're looking for a simple, quick paced, fun, spicy, romantic read with angst and emotional stakes that aren't too heavy? maybe just to pass the time? then i think you'll be satisfied with this one. 3.75 stars. as i like to say quite often in my reviews, im a simple reader without too many specific standards. this book entertained me more than enough, there just wasnt anything else that special about it.
