Although this has taken me a long time to finish, that was rather because I didn’t want to rush it whilst in a reading slump.
The writing is refreshing and the plot beautifully written. While I have read many books already and it cannot be avoided that some things repeat themselves, I loved that I wasn’t able to tell all the plot twist from the beginning and that the author gave us as little information as possible.
The romance was lacking a little bit for my taste and they went from enemies to more in a blink of an eye and I would’ve wished for more tension while in the enemies to lovers stage instead of “okay, I’ll just accept that we need to work together and I find you attractive anyways” from one page to the other.
