For a guy that didn’t know Gwen existed until like two seconds ago, Alex falls for her really bloody fast. That was fun to read (I won’t lie) but it did make their relationship and the quick progression of it kind of unbelievable. Still, this was cute albeit a bit predictable. For example,

the moment we were told that Declan was a lawyer, I already knew that he’d play a hand at getting Alex out of his contract.

Gwen is also a bit of a spineless silly billy which made the plot but, god, got annoying pretty fucking quick. There would be no plot if she ignored Alex and Mabel’s pretty clear warnings and I get that, but as I just said… the warnings were pretty fucking clear and the evidence of the proof of those warnings were somehow even clearer. It was genuinely annoying to see Gwen trusting people that clearly shouldn’t be trusted. I did, however, really like how Alex’s POV was inter-spliced into the narrative. It was interesting dipping into his brain, even though we didn’t spend a lot of time there. He’s easily the most interesting character of this book.
