Wow this book kinda sucked. The women in this book are written terribly and spend half the time being naked for some reason, and the main heroine, I guess, is so traumatized by the murder of her father that she's regressed to starting over as a baby. But even with her juvenile mental state, her and the 'male lead' (who is taking care of her) still somehow fall in love with each other. ???? #freudwouldvelovedthis

Besides that, I overall disliked how the book was written. Lots of made up nonsense I didn't care about, and the narration was so tedious to get through. Didn't DNF because it was only 300 pages.
