Im getting whiplash trying to figure out if these 2 are facing each other or not in this “knotting” scene. One min he seems to be Im back of her the next it’ll say something that indicates they’re face to face but at not point did it ever mention either of them turning around. Idk, the lack of description/details is just annoying. I can already say without finishing it this books a 3/5 stars at best.

“His heartbeat pounds on the back of my tongue as he guides my head to his neck.” …. Huh? The back of her tongue. Am I stupid? Cause the ridiculousness of what I’m picturing right now. Lmao! 🙈 This whole bath/closet spicy scene was just all kinda of awkward and hard to picture at times. I literally flipped back and reread it 3 times, I really tried but.. no, it was just not good. 🤷‍♀️

Ok so, it’s finally starting to get a little more interesting. I almost wanted to dnf in the beginning, but that’s always so hard for me because in the beginning of ACOTAR I was bored and also wanted to dnf and it turned out to be one of my favorite series ever. So, it takes a lot for me to give up on a book. And I almost did here but, it’s growing on me a bit now. So, let’s see where this goes..

This is my first Ali Hazelwood book.. are all her books this confusing? Her style of writing is just throwing me off here. It’s going back and fourth between past and present and I’ve read a lot of books that do that but she doesn’t even specify from chapter to chapter or anywhere that it’s doing that so I don’t even realize we’re in the past or memory until halfway through a chapter.. it’s annoying..
