hmmm… the end kind of fixed some issues I had with this, but I still feel like there’s a lot of problematic tropes at play here. Regardless, I had a good time

very slow going for me until the near end. didn’t keep me “hooked.” how the two main characters knew each other seemed to be super important at the beginning of the book but wasn’t as big of a plot twist as I was expecting at the end. Liked the book, didn’t love it.
