The saving grace of this book was how good the romance was. Like, that's the whole point, but the plot itself was really stupid at times and I didn't feel like I got closure with so much that was going on.

Not my favorite Zapata read—but I still enjoyed it for sure. I had trouble putting it down like I do other Zapata reads, but it really didn’t feel like a lot happened in this 600+ page book. It burned a bit too slow for me this time.

Honestly don't how to feel about this one, did i spend 7 hours straight reading it and couldn't put it down ? Yes..duh but i can't give it a 4 stars 
Very very predictable plot but some scenes made feel something,its a SLOW SLOW SLOW BURN so there's that.

Huh. I Have mixed feelings about this.

On the ond hand, I really liked Luna. I felt myself seen in several things and it was both comforting and uncomfortable. 

I wanted the "lie" to be more explored, tbh. It felt flat, that was a shame. But i really enjoyed the plot surrounding Luna and Ripley.

Ripley... I liked him. It took me a while to like him, to be honest. Specially after the 40% mark of the book. He had some issues, byt I enjoyed his backstory.

Overall, this us better than "Under Locke" but definetely not my favorite Zapata book.
