The first two hundred pages we're quite nice, but the ending felt so forced + as if you had to create drama in order to motivate the reader to continue the series. And for some reason, the sex scenes made me rather uncomfortable. ESPECIALLY IN THE GALLERY BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY MAKE OUT WITH A FUCKING STATUE??
But otherwise I did like the male love interest, especially due to the bond to his little sister :) he's also very smart shhshs
Her new female friends and her dad are sweet as well, but I do think the way that his job as a soldier was portrayed was a little weird and did not quite resonate with me.
Overall, the book was alright, quite liberal which I didn't expect but appreciated, but the ending annoyed me aloooot
