Mimi
For most of the book I was torn between 2.5 stars or 3 stars.
I liked both of the characters, the plot, the pacing and the romance. I really liked how manipulative the male lead was. He tricks her into spending time with him, tampers with her birth control and is completely shameless and not remorseful about it. And he gets away with it all in the end as well! The female lead never finds out. I love it when an author stays consistent with their characters from start to end. The male lead's jealousy in this book were the highlight and all scenes were utterly hilarious. For example, he's so obsessed with the female lead he burns all of her underwear just because her ex had seen her in them, even the ones she's currently wearing.
What really let the story down was the writing. It came across as very choppy. It did improve in certain areas but the dialogue especially sounded cringe.
The ending ruined the book for me unfortunately. I was torn whether I might reread it someday but I hate it when a book has a cliffhanger ending that comes out of nowhere hinting at a future romance between their kids. Sometimes in works, but in this book it annoyed me that I dropped half a star.
