And my first 1-star of the year goes to...

This was the most disappointing dark romance book I've ever read in my life. The premise is so delicious, I was so hyped for it, and this is what was done with it? Criminal. 

The characters are blander than plain oatmeal and not an ounce of personality or depth was poured into them; they're cardboard cutouts. The dialogue reads like AI meets Tumblr or something and the spice gave absolutely nothing. 

I'm trying to think of more to say, but there's just nothing to this book. 

I bought this for a friend from her wish list and I genuinely regret spending money on it. The only way I'll feel okay about it is if she ends up enjoying it.
