This was a hard read….the characters, especially the main two, were just not it….the male love interest River was simply rude and annoying for the most part. It was like the author was trying to force an enemies to lovers but it simply was not working in this book. There were so many questionable and also quite unnecessary plot holes and there was this dream sequence that was added there for no reason?? The only good thing I found about this book was the diversity but that does not add much to the story except representation YK 😭😭 Everything in this book, to me, was just written messily so unfortunately not my fav. Im gonna leave this review with a quote that I found super memorable…. “If you were my wife I’d bathe in your bath water to absorb your very essence”
