what. the. fuck. 
i am SO MAD RN????
there was ZERO relationship development between the two
like ZERO
the whole book was filled with conflict after conflict drama after drama
but actually the main focus was supposed to be ace’s character development and their relationship development 
there was NONE OF THAT WTF
ace obv had issues and they chose to gloss over them???
and calla oml. 
she did sm and went thru sm but NAH
glossed over it. 
and ace and calla had no communication at all like i don’t remember them sitting down and having a NORMAL CONVERSATION at all wtf 
i was so fucking excited for this book 

i am so disappointed. 
(3 stars is me being generous)
