Unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me. Nearly 500 pages of buildup, and yet nothing really happened. The premise was intriguing, but the execution just dragged. The romance felt flat, and the female lead’s motivation was almost nonexistent. Around the final quarter, I finally got a spark of chemistry between the characters, but it wasn’t enough. The ending felt absurd and senseless—and that cliffhanger? Instead of making me want more, it made me put the book down for good. Found out too late it originated on Wattpad… and that explained a lot.
