It was cringy but also so cute. Sometimes it was hard to listen to but Honestly the ending just made so much sense to me. Unless the letter opener point was meant to leave a question?

This book was fine. I liked it. I didn't love it though and I don't think I connected that much with the characters since the ending didn't make me cry. I'm slightly intrigued by the rest of the series, but don't really have any interest in continuing at the moment. It wasn't a waste of time though.

Love. Love. LOVE this book. The ending would have made me cry if it wasn’t for my antidepressants. It’s a classic grumpy/sunshine romantic fantasy filled with touch her you die vibes.

Totally fell for the main character- Leigh. She was totally personable and I could only wish the best for her as she decended into Jarod's life of crime. She is so sweet and somehow keeps her charm throughout the whole story, no matter what she chooses to do.

Olivia (the author) has a way with her writing, that once I picked this book up, I did not want to set it down. Even though the story does feature common tropes, the diverse world she set up and in depth character building is totally hers and is beautifully done.

Okay sooo I thought this was going to be a book I would love. I didn’t realize this was a Romeo and Juliet retelling and I hated the ending but what bothered me most about this book is how much the MC just gave up on everything she wanted for a man. She lost a lot of her autonomy. She was rash and didn’t think through her actions. 

Also this man who was mediocre really. He did the bare minimum and she fell totally in love with him. He did have a good redemption arch but their connection just didn’t feel realistic in the end.
