I tried, I really did. But the grown arse man "fervently desiring" a 9 year old and marrying her a few years later was my last straw. Also all the incest and other shit. I felt physically ill reading this book, so I had to stop.

Am I tripping or is this just a slight variation on the hunger games????

I couldn't make it past the "interviews."

I really tried but kept getting annoyed that the FMC wasn't Katniss and the MMC nowhere near as endearing as Peeta!

I had to skip the unbelievably cringe and terribly written "sex scenes." They were soooooooo bad. The story was ok. I was much more interested in the politics and world building. The "romance," was unnecessary.

I really wanted to like this but oh boy, I couldn't wait for it to end.

Really cool premise, but unbelievably boring execution.

Entitled white girl, laments her bad choice, after being told explicitly NOT to do the thing she did.

Also, why is everything set in New York?

Unfortunately, I was influenced by all those reels of the famous line from this book.

"A man was speaking, so I stopped listening."

I got to the end of the book, all the while waiting for it to get mediocre. I would have settled for that.

In the year of our overlord 2025, I don't want to read this male ego stroking drivel.

A hell no from me.
