it was good i actually really liked the story, i just didn’t know i liked the story until about 60% of the way in. i really liked arya she was feisty and likes to take things head on, but she was also really naïve and spent so long denying literally everything that was right in front of her and i wasn’t a super fan of that. i also liked christian to an extent he definitely had his moments but it was only moments.

I really enjoyed this one!!! I loved Christian and Arya. As a law student I loved reading from a lawyer. But did gotta dock a star because literally everything that happens in this book is unethical as a lawyer. However, I looked past that. Obviously it’s a fictional story not real lawyer is doing this. At least I hope so.
Just made me laugh because so many times I’d be like no you cannot do that Christian, it’s unethical. 😂😂
I felt so bad for Christian his childhood was fucked. Poor kid. It’s so sad because both Christian and Arya had shitty parents but come from completely different backgrounds and circumstances.
I loved the side characters we got to see. Like Jillian, Riggs and Arsene. However, Claire and Conrad you both are dogs…
As always the writing was really great, plot super faced past and easy to read. I really loved this one.

This book is truly a life story. Both good and bad things happen and everything is not always as it seems. Christian and Arya are two sides of the same coin from very different worlds. Both are head strong and sassy. In typical LJ style I've been blown away again. Read it. You'll love it!
