I have so much to say about this book and most of it is BAD.
There is unnecessary and way too descriptive sexual assault happeningwith a rescue from a male character...
Some other things as well that I'll put in the content warning tags!
It was still an enjoyable read in terms of easy writing style. But that's what the half star is for, my opinion of the book got worse with every single chapter I've read. Insta-love happening, really non complex characters and plot, easy to see plot twists, unrealistic things happening and readily excusing the horrible stuff one of the main characters does are the main reasons I did not like the book.
