I honestly didn't like this book 😭 The writing was definitely YA coded, but the content was not. The writing was pretty predictable and I was disappointed with the plot twist.
I didn't understand why they had Nina sleeping with Enzo immediately following the abusive relationship. Why was Cece all of a sudden not a spoiled brat at the end? To me, the ending seemed so cheap too, with her now being 'the housekeeper that kills abusive husbands' idk maybe I'm just picky but
I honestly heard such good things about this book so I went in with really high hopes.
