Personally, this book just wasn’t my cup of tea, but i can totally see why some people would love it.
I just feel as though the ending glorifies addiction, stalking and obsession- which are all issues the main character has with the “love interest”. I did not like how in the end, the main character is not punished for her behaviour and that the “love interest” is completely reprimanded for his even though he is just trying to protect himself from her
overall, i just didn’t enjoy this book, i don’t like the main character and don’t think it depicts obsession in the right way.
