The twist in the last third of the book made me despise Elena tbh. I kinda want him to leave her and find someone better at this point.

I'm becoming increasingly irritated with this book. She had no love of her homeland, no memory of it. She claims to love Alegretto to the point she doesn't want to go to heaven if he isn't there. Yet she betrays him over...a book written by her grandfather she's never met???????

I'm struggling with the S/M aspect of this book which is one of the things many readers favor about it. I can't wrap my head around a 18 year old whose first and ONLY experience with sex was a rape becoming an accomplished dominatrix the very next encounter. This whle scenario would have worked better for me if she were older and had some experience previously. Also why was the rape necessary? ugh

Slow start but it's picking up now. Also I love Lady Beatrice lmaooo
