The last 25% is the reason that the rating will drop hard for this book. "A few weeks passed" to indicate lots that had happened which the author didn't want us to know about or conversely to gloss over the fact that there's no substance.
Plus if I read "mansion" one more time I will literally lose it. There are other words and phrases to describe a large house.
Underwhelmed because it should have been good but isn't

There's a surprising lack of depth in this book. 69% in and I still don't know who these characters are. I know what they do, what they say but really who are they? It's as if they live in a void, barely go to school, parents uninvolved. Dimitri is a bratva prince and yet has all this time to pick flowers with new boyfriend Rei. What is Rei's deal? Where is his brother? It's all very surface level.
