This book is devastating. I finished this book the day that I started it. There is spice in this book that is not closed door but it adds to the story and is necessary.

Uhm, it had okay potential but it was just not good. It felt like the writer just wrote a bunch of shit in the middle so that way it made the book longer. it just got boring. their relationship didn't evolve until the last 50 pages and then it just felt super rushed and out of place. The writer herself isn't bad, it's honestly just the book. felt like I was reading a huge Wattpad story tbh. Would not recommend it. Booktok is lying to you. Way overpriced.
