It was... quite unexpected, in a nice suprise type of way.
I bought this back in November and basically just knew it had an arranged marriage trope, so I went into it kinda blind, which was nice, and I really quite enjoyed it.
It took me a while to really understand and differentiate between both pov's, but once I got it, I was good to go. I really liked Lou's pov's a bit better.
Also, judging by the cover and title I kinda expected it to be spicy, but it actually wasn't? I'm not mad about it tho, I really enjoyed the plot without it.
This is one of those books where I want to keep being inside the world even after I finished it, so I'll read the next one, but I'm a bit scared to see where the plot goes, idk where it'll go but I guess I'll find out.
