it was ok

2.5⭐️ whose genius idea was it to write Rue's pov in first person and Eli's in third person? 🤔 it made a not so good read extra exhausting for no reason!!

also, please please please Ali Hazelwood, more STEM, less smut. we want characters we can actually relate to and want to care about so we will as excited as we were about Adam and Olive when we heard they were getting cameos in other books.

after the disappointment that was The Bride, I didn’t know if I wanted to touch this and I was scared 😩😩 it turns out I was right to be 🤷🏽‍♀�

manas i hate that ali does that� why can’t it be consistent?? it’s so jarring to read. i appreciate her trying new concepts but some authors aren’t mean for everything. but i’ve only heard bad things about this, so im scared lol. i hope your next read is better 🥰

the smut is cringeworthy 🥲🥲 it is even getting harder to find good smut 😩


alice reynolds finally someone talking about the povs!!! it was so confusing switching from first to third person.

and I still don't get the reason 👀

Priya Venkat Yes, Ali disappointed us twice this year with Bride and this very bad "only smut" book !

maybe viral tiktok authors are being pressure to put out good books faster than they actually can 😬


Alice Iris I think she explains why it's smutty even before the book starts.


message 36: by E (new) - rated it 2 stars

E The POV switching really messed with my head!! I couldn’t keep it straight.


Lacey Thompson I couldn’t put my finger on it but you’re right, the switching povs absolutely made a difficult read worse.
