story kinda felt like a waste of time. interesting premise but the ML was so weird and forceful at the beginning and the progression of their romance did not rly feel believable to me. i also just felt like there was so much unnecessary drama for the sole purpose of shoehorning some more tropes in there. i wanted to drop many times but i stuck through. it's ok if you wanna read smth super tropey and meh and just don't want to think abt anything but prob read smth else instead.
