This was such a cute and fun read. Which may not be expected based on the title, but I think that's what makes it even more fun. So many elements of the book are unexpected, but the through-line really is this tension and dynamic between The Villain and Evie. The grumpy sunshine/I hate everyone but you trope was unmatched in this story and Tristan at his core is really just a big softie. I loved so much of this book. I will say, it's another one that I think I read too fast to fully appreciate so the rating may have been different if I read this at a different time, but here we are. My main critique I would say is that some of the fantastical elements of this book, including the ending, fell flat for me and didn't feel super well developed. In spite of those things, I would definitely recommend this book!
