2.0

I may gouge my eyes out if I have to read “my star” or “Little One” (BARF) again. Super stiff dialogue, no lovable or likable characters, and a lot of cringe-worthy moments. Estrella is the idiot whom we are supposed to love and root for but she shows no growth throughout the story. And don’t even get me started on Caelum. He is the absolute worst. He infantilizes the FMC and is a total creep. Ugh. I will not read the next one, because frankly, I just don’t care what happens and the whole book gave me the “ick.”
