look, as much as i understood pen’s anger towards neil, she fucked up when she threw the book at neil, permanently scarring him. i was absolutely horrified to read that scene, but, i wanted to give this one a chance. 

at least until both her and neil started getting lusty moments over absolutely nothing. if you know me, you know i despise insta lust because i think it’s a cheat code used by a lot of authors to avoid writing proper relationship development. based on some of the reviews, i don’t think it would change for the better. 

also, apparently the author also lied about being native, so i will be returning this book back to the library.
