For such a long book the story dragged. I’m not sure I can finish this book then go on to read part 2. I found the FMC draining and whiny. I love a good OV story especially when it’s cozy and low angst. I feel like this book had too much crying and self deprecation. I understand that self love is a journey but the way the FMC was depicted in the beginning as head strong and forceful I was expecting someone more confident and self assured. Instead we get someone who cries at the drop of a hat. Every interaction with her alphas start with her crying and them reassuring her that they do care and find her attractive. This book definitely had potential to be great especially with the underlying government/political  issues, I just couldn’t get past the characters to continue reading to learn more.
