I really wanted to love this, but in the end it just didn't work for me. I don't care for short, almost choppy writing where the paragraphs are only 2-3 lines long. This is similar writing to Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé's writing. It works for some people, and I wish it worked for me because it makes the story fly. However, I just can't get into the book this way. 

I also don't like enemies to lovers a lot and this was enemies to lovers to the extreme. It reminded me of Zodiac Academy in the way that it felt like a bully romance. I will say that the writing in this book is leagues better than ZA. If you want vibes from ZA but better development and writing, this is a good book for you.
