3.0

So this book is majorly hyped and I've seen dozens upon dozens of recommendations for it. I'm a huge fan of reverse harems so I finally jumped on the train and read it, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda disappointed.

The story was very meh for me. Like it's ok, it kept me decently entertained, but nothing about it really captivated me or got my thinking ooooooo. Our female main character is alright, I find her very one dimensional so far. Bratty rich girl, has past trauma, gets blamed for something and suffers the consequences, and now she is back for revenge. The guys are all smoke shows, and super close, bad boys but with an obvious past that connects them.

The story is an enemies to lovers, but with reverse harems there is always the guy that our female main character connects with first, and then the one she fights tooth and nail with and holds out on the longest. It's a slow burn, minimal spice, mostly just a ton of sexual tension.

I dunno, nothing about this story just really stood out to me. I'm gonna try the next book, see if it gets better, also I have to know how stories end, even if I'm not overly into them. So hopefully the series gets better!
