I don’t even know where to start with this.
Having this take place in Israel/Palestine and the complete glossing over of the horrific acts that occurs in Palestine made me feel disgusted on so many levels.
I can look past the crappy and annoying characters, lack of world building, and sh*tty plot holes but what I cannot and will not get over is making a ROMANCE NOVEL based around the horror the people of Palestine have gone through for years.
This has put such a bad taste in my mouth and I don’t even know if I want to continue on with this series. I want to believe the author has changed their views on this since it was originally released in 2019 but I find that highly doubtful.
Graphic: Genocide, Islamophobia, Religious bigotry, and War
