This one sounded promising, but it turns out it really wasn't for me. The story feels contrived and relies too heavily on tropes—it just doesn't feel fresh. The MC is incredibly frustrating, the romance doesn't feel authentic, and the ending borders on ridiculous. It has a beautiful setting, though.
