1. sofia and ace should have more interactions before making their relationship go into the next phase, it was too quick. unlike other stories i read, they should have TENSION, a bigger plot. them killing their nasty parents should be a subplot instead. they're the same age as warnette except warnette has better interactions
2. some of the parts make me CRINGEE, esp when they do dirty talk and the fact that ?? i don't wanna talk about it
3. this mid book made me tear up a little bc of ace's pov after everything i can't lie

It was an addictive read as well as being an easy one, however it wasn't good. Majority of the characters were forgettable and didn't have too much of an impact on the plot and the plot itself was lacking and didn't really progress anywhere from its initial drawing point until the ending. Sofia's character was unlikable and selfish, with any chance the book had to focus on Ace, the focus was given to Sofia.. again. Even so her character wasn't well developed past her home life and being in love with Ace. In addition to this any real conflict that came about was solved in a few chapters, with the main conflict of the the story only really occurring at the end out of the blue. Even so, the writing itself was not good, it was much of the same thing repeated over and over, with many filler chapters, the writing style was just not enjoyable and almost juvenile. 
Despite this I liked it, despite it having 100 chapters I completed it in a day and even though I didn't like Sofia or much of the other characters I still rooted for her happiness. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone needing to get out of a reading slump, or if you're just something fun to read and don't have too high expectations.
