I flew through this book and loved every second of it. However, it’s definitely not for everyone. It’s not going to be the fluffy romance you want but definitely not the serious book with depth either. While it wasn’t necessarily the best writing and time was passing in the book with no major changes, the tension, love, personal problems, and the characters were worth it for me to rate it high and obsess over it constantly. When I wasn’t reading, I wanted to be. If another book was written this way, I may have wanted more and rated lower; somehow this story left nothing to be desired and I loved it.
