Lots of people promoted this as an enemies to lovers but it's far from it. Don't go into this book thinking that because otherwise you get disappointed when the story is actually good. Characters infuriated me but at the same time their choices and decision somehow felt so human and understandable. Reading it felt like getting hit by a car and before you can recover you get hit by another one. Amazing story telling.

I enjoyed it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Not the worst, not the best. The second and the third books are better thought, so whort reading
