Ein etwas anderes Romance Buch.
Ich habe es genossen es zu lesen und konnte mit mehreren Charakteren relaten. Vor allem da ich auch selber Mobbing erlebt habe und mir das Buch geholfen hat ein bisschen meine Ereignisse zu verarbeiten, auch wenn es mich ein paar Mal zum Weinen gebracht hat. Ich habe es auch geliebt, dass die Hauptcharakterin mal nicht das typische brave Mädchen war, wie in den meisten Büchern, sie war anders, sie war fehlerhaft und nicht perfekt, und genau das machte sie perfekt in meinen Augen. Jeder von uns hat seine Fehler und Macken, um es in Mishas Worten zu sagen "Everyone is ugly, the only difference is some hide it and some wear it". Perfekt fande ich auch den Charakterwandel in dem Buch, der hat mir sehr gefallen, sowohl bei Ryen als auch bei Misha. 
Und die Story, den Plot und die Lovestory fand ich besonders und schön, aber denke man hätte es alles besser umsetzen können.

reread: 8/1/2024



i actually enjoyed this about as much as i did the first time i read it (possibly more because devil's night crumbs) but i just don't rate purely for enjoyment anymore. i stand by what i said in 2020 it's still really refreshing to have an objectively flawed heroine in this subgenre and while most of the other characters were very one dimensional, the main characters were still interesting and likeable!

i actually really enjoyed this book it was hot n the pacing was really good!! ryen’s character was so refreshing it’s nice to read about a romance heroine having a flaw that isn’t ‘too nice’. also the actual premise was kinda unique! However it is a little cringy at some points especially the epilogue with him being a famous rockstar but i guess that comes with having the male lead be a musician
