I read up until page 47 of 351 (14%) before I DNF and just skimmed the rest. So disappointing.
It had such potential but making Elsa so spineless and making Aiden not just a bully but a sexual abuser with very strong psycho tendencies—making both main characters unlikable—just royally fucked it up.
This story reminds me a lot of BOYS OVER FLOWERS (HANA YORI DANGO) ⬅️ Now THAT is GREAT!!❤️ Had this book followed their lead concerning the characters and making them likable, then this book could've been amazing. Instead it felt like they took BOYS OVER FLOWERS and corrupted it with Haunting Adeline to make this 💩. Such a letdown.
