look….I read a ton of dark romance….but the absolute cringe of this novel was too much. on several occasions, the stalking of the mmc was actually psychotic. he legit made her frightened. accidentally hit her. she was assaulted physically and then the next day she loses her v card to the mmc…in which it is also a bit of dubcon and the entire time this girl is so in her head insecure and frightened it just reads as pure toxicity with 0 respect for herself or anyone around her…several scenes in the book were also incredibly dangerous situations and very very very incorrect about the behavior women have with one another…. it’s sketchy and the author of this novel was either trying to do dark romance and only leaning into the toxic side of it OR they were trying to make some kind of point about dark romances…….either way I will absolutely not be continuing the series and am disappointed that these characters were that incredibly toxic and immature……I hope no one reads this and thinks that this is what dark romance is about. because truthfully this was just plain abuse and again..toxic.
