The two POVs and the setting are interesting. But I'm not liking the romance yet. It feels too insta lovey from the MMC's part. And some aspects of the world / storyline remind me of "The Hunger Games".

Finished part 2. What a plot twist! Didn't see that coming!

Finished the first part. Now it's getting interesting! But I also kind of anticipated what was about to happen.

I'm enjoying the setting and story so far. It's pretty interesting. What I'm not enjoying is rereading events and background information that were already covered in the previous books. Those repetitions felt unnecessary, especially since most readers had likely read them already, given that they were published only 1–2 years earlier.

OK, it's still not my favourite read but the story got a little more interesting? It feels like one of those guilty pleasure TV shows, that you watch for the drama but would never admit you like? I don't like her with BJ, he's just so toxic. If she ends up with him towards the end, I'll definitely not continue on reading this series. I might continue if she chooses the other love interest though.

White nights: 2,5⭐

That protagonist gave me the ick... He was an entitled, egoistical, two- faced man who's a perfect representation of todays "nice guy". The love interest, who was described through a male gaze, wasn't relatable and behaved unrealistically.

I really don't get what the hype is about... So far, this is the worst written book, I've ever read... Even though I've wanted to dnf it at least five times, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and continue on reading. Who knows? It might get better😅

So different from what I anticipated. Started out kind of bubbly, but turned dark really quickly. Some parts were really hard to read, but Murata did an amazing job at writing these scenes. Intrigued to see how this story continues.
