i hate coho but this book was. ok. i liked verity as a character because i thought she was interesting unlike the other two, and i definitely enjoyed the parts with her manuscript more than whatever tf everything else was. too much porn for my taste tho. and i liked that the ending is kind of an open one and we dont know if what we read was actually real. but honestly the mc ruined the good parts for me. she was so annoying and i hated verity's husband too

this wasnt for me. i liked the idea, but the execution was horrible. the characters were all so dislikeable and they acted like teenagers which made buying the fact that they were adults really hard. like why are you acting like that at your grown age? also the writing style was mediocre at best and the plot twists werent plot twisting. i could tell you the entire plot after the first chapter

this book BROKE my heart. i couldn't put it down. i cried almost the entire time. i was so shocked and so disgusted and so upset while reading it. i want to cry just THINKING about it. 

"he was a grown man and you were fifteen. vanessa... you didnt ask for that. you were just trying to go to school" IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE.
