📚  STORYLINE 🌶️🌶️  😘😘

I am glad I have listened to this story. It will make an interesting movie as indicated by Passionflix. An interesting storyline, however I found that the 2 MC weren’t explored emotionally enough for me. This lead to a weaker romance arc side of the story. The bonus chapter was simply a cruel twist for the reader. It didn’t end pleasantly for the side character and this put a dampener on the whole story for me. Please be warned that it does contain some major triggers and must be approached cautiously.
