DNF @ about 33% the pacing was just so weird and it was possibly the most insta lovey insta love ive ever seen
like dont get me wrong i can ignore instDNF @ about 33% the pacing was just so weird and it was possibly the most insta lovey insta love ive ever seen
like dont get me wrong i can ignore insta love sometimes if theres a connection but he literally went from 1 to 100 in the span of like.. two pages? not kidding
the background plot was interesting but as i stated the pacing of it was so weird and it made it hard to enjoy :(
i might come back to this at some point because it is really promising and maybe its right book wrong time?
but this is my review for now :((

the PROBLEM is that its realistic. like it was hard for me to enjoy because the whole time i was like.. this could happen to me. the problems in the other books ( (view spoiler)[ like christian being a stalker, bridget being a princess, whatever alex did i forgot) (hide spoiler)] could never happen to me!! but what he did/said could you see what i mean...more

BADLY needed an editor, there was a lot of grammar mistakes and places there should have been periods/commas. sooooo many red flags. my god. fo2 stars
BADLY needed an editor, there was a lot of grammar mistakes and places there should have been periods/commas. sooooo many red flags. my god. for example, he cheated on his ex, and she dated a married man knowing he was married,, and they were SO hot and cold. they would literally go from yelling at eachother and having miscommunications to making out constantly. i feel like they never actually communicated and just "solved" all their problems by doing that. there were just s o many things i could nitpick at but im not gonna get into them all lmao...more
ok my feelings on this book are complicated and i cant make sense of them. so im not going to! this review is for my brain and for my brain only pls dok my feelings on this book are complicated and i cant make sense of them. so im not going to! this review is for my brain and for my brain only pls dont percieve me
i liked the plot for the first 75% but the last 25% was really rushed. but like.. a lot of parts were really rushed i feel? there were important scenes that would be glossed right over and then trivial scenes that would go on for too long. the relationship felt like it happened really quickly (ESPCIALLY for something marketed as an enemies to lovers) and i understand thats partially because they had a history that was largely off-page, minus flashbacks that were at the beginning of each chapter. but like.. how can you put SEVEN YEARS of character development in flashbacks. dont get me wrong, i understand why she didnt make the entire book scenes of them hanging around when she was like 17 (which is... a whole other issue) but i just felt like i was missing a lot. because of this it felt sort of insta lovey. which would have been FINE if this book was like 150 pages long.. but an almost four hundred page book in a four book series does not have any room for insta love.
and the characterization was very odd to me. the fae guy, who was who knows how old (but definitely very old considering "the bargainer" is a myth) lowkey speaks like he is a teenager sometimes. i just feel like it didnt fit. and the side characters felt very shallow. not to mention her best friend was very much a perpetuation of a stereotype, who, by the way, seemed to have almost no involvement in the plot outside of when she was helping the FMC.
some parts felt EXTREMELY predictable. like when she connected the dots on who the big bad guy was i just felt like.. girl you didnt notice that?? who else would it have been????
the fantasy aspects were cool though. i enjoyed that aspect of the plot.
im not sure if im going to be continuing this series yet. i enjoyed the base plot enough to want to see where it goes, but idk. im hoping if i do the relationship grows on me and maybe ill stop feeling like i missed a chapter....more
