you know that one tumblr post that says villains make better love stories because they’d be willing to burn down the world for their loved ones while heroes will always be burdened by their unwavering morals? yeah i’m thinking about that while reading this book
the smut was pretty good! feeling weird how the girl doesn’t know her worth until she gets with the guy! and the guy is literally horrible which i guess is the point but man. if i saw him in real life i think i would run (so unfortunate that he’s hot…) i did not see the twists at the end and i thought the book set them up pretty well. 3/5 for the spice and suspense
