I had the highest hopes for this book. And honestly I made it through most of the book enjoying it. But once the two mains really started to explore their relationship it went down hill so fast. I don’t mind possessive men but Caelum was just toxic in a bad way. And Estrella hates the idea of any man thinking she’s anything beyond a plaything but she has no personality beyond that. She holds Caelum to such a high standard of morals but will turn around and do the exact thing she condemns him for just to be with him. I honestly just wanted it to end by the time I hit 75%. And the “twist” wasn’t so shocking.
