    Probably won’t be for everyone. Remi really is a piece of shit. But if you are looking for angst and some grovel this is a fun read. I did buy his turn around by the end.

    The “hero” was a fucking asshole and should have suffered way more. But the book delivered on the premise. He breaks her heart and then grovels to earn her back.
