This was an okay read, but the pacing was a bit too slow for my taste—the leads don't even kiss until over 55% of the way through. While I appreciated the "forbidden" premise, some plot points felt unrealistic and a few supporting characters seemed to be there just to tick boxes. It wasn't quite for me, but it might work for readers who love an extremely long slow-burn.
