Yet to find its uniqueness. It’s kinda generic like every other romantasy. Still, it was a fun read.

Not sure why I’ve been gravitating toward novels about obsessive women this early in the year 😅, but here we are.

This one centers on Naomi, who becomes fixated on her boyfriend’s ex, and it’s interesting to see how quickly overthinking spirals once you cross lines you probably should not have crossed in the first place. Reading this made me realize that I actually enjoy stories about obsession. There’s something fascinating about watching someone unravel in their own head and trying to understand how their mind works.

That said, Naomi was the definition of self sabotage. She was incredibly annoying, and at times it felt like the author kept pushing her into worse decisions just for the sake of it. I genuinely struggled to understand why she kept going when she had so many chances to stop. It became repetitive after a while, and her motivation never felt fully clear. She was not chasing anything concrete, no reward, no payoff, just digging herself deeper. What made it worse was that she was not even brave enough to own up to her actions.

Usually, when I’m reading or after I finish a book, I check reviews from people who rated it around what I’m leaning toward to see if our thoughts align. This is the first time I did not even know how to filter reviews because I was unsure how I felt about it myself.

I did wish there were more confrontations or tense moments in the middle because parts of it dragged and got boring. Still, the ending came together well. It was smooth, solid, and fitting. A confrontation was not even necessary in the end because Naomi had already done enough damage on her own and fully earned the consequences.

Despite my frustrations, this was a really interesting read, and I’m glad I picked it up.
