I am really struggling with the over-bearing and over-protective nature of Griffin. I am also really struggling with Cat’s flippant attitude. While the first book captured a really fun dynamic, this second book is aggravating.

“Don’t you dare lie to me again.”

the kidnapper felt betrayed 🤩

“Only raging disappointment, and I’ve never felt so exposed and vulnerable in my entire life. I don’t just feel stripped. I feel stripped raw.”

ugh that guy
