The way I devoured this? Yeah… that’s what I’m fucking talking about. That was some real deal yearning and I swear my kindle cover has bite marks in it because of how much I enjoyed the tension between Alexander and Kitty. There’s something so hot about sexual restraint, dude. I don’t know what it is. I’m happy I kept reading past that first chapter (which I found kind of corny, for lack of a better word) because the book genuinely gets so much better after that. I enjoyed all things about the main couples dynamic as well as the relationships each main character had with their respective families (and wider staff, in Alexander’s case). I do wish we got more of them being a couple after the conflict of the novel was resolved. Really wasn’t a fan of the time-skip epilogue but oh well.
