Poorly written. Full of cliches. Generally frustrating. Honestly only finished the book for the spice. A cheap read. Several parts of the book are unrealistic, such as the FMC's friend group (
ONE OF THEM IS A PRINCESS FOR GOD'S SAKE
). The twist for the FMC was good and well executed, but the twist for the MMC was predictable. The fact that there were still 12 chapters after the climax was wayyyy too much. Also the ending is extremely unrealistic. The portrayal of FMC "getting over" her PTSD and phobia are EXTREMELY unrealistic. That is not something a bf can help you through. She needed PROFESSIONAL HELP. If he really cared about her, he would've set that up for her or helped her through it. Spoilers Ahead:
IF ANYONE WAS FOLLOWED BY AN EX BF FOR OVER A YEAR, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN POLICE, A RESTRAINING ORDER, THE WHOLE 9 YARDS. LIKE THIS GIRL NEEDS HELP. STALKING IS NOT OKAY. Just... so so frustrating. ALSO sooo mad at the princess for telling MMC (FMC's ex) that she was moving countries!!! Just let her continue her life in peace and meet someone else better!! She should've ended up with the Australian guy and worked for National Geographic and lived the life of her dreams. F the MMC. He's not worth it. ALSO ALSO the portrayal of her "getting over" her PTSD and aquaphobia infuriated me. It was like 2 paragraphs and poof, hardly afraid of water. Like no, that's not how this works AT ALL. Take it from someone who has childhood PTSD: this is not written correctly. Especially since her 'therapist' was also orchestrated by her dad, like her life should've been way worse, way more depressing, way darker. Yes, you can put on a mask and appear happy around people, the your outlook on life is not going to be good. Okay, I guess I've ranted enough.
  Honestly, not worth the read. ALSO ALSO ALSO, the girl in the audiobook freaking whispers the whole time. I don't want a girl whispering in my ear for 12 hours!!!
