4.5
My critiques are:
1. the plot only started up in the last half of the book. the first half was mostly character introduction and worldbuilding.
2. the bully to lovers trope is a slippery slope, and i really hope black will continue to pull it off well.
3. taryn was an odd character to me. her motivations were questionable and out of nowhere, despite them being twins and raised together...you'd think their motives would be fairly similar.
Overall I really loved the dialogue and character writing.
