Honestly I think the two sisters handled the harems very differently. Like the older sis had cordial relationships with all of them and constantly ignored there feelings to keep the friendships going. But lili always drew a line and with two of her men lowk neglecting her josh was the only right answer but idk.
I agree they handled the harem differently but I feel like the end result was the same. I really hoped that there wouldn’t be a member of the harem that completely left because of hurt like in Micheal’s case for the older sister. But Aiden did the same thing even when Lily was pretty clear. I guess I just hopped for Lily she would be able to still be friends with all the suiters as her sister didn’t really have that when she chose cedric.
Am I the only one who sees a direct parallel to the older sisters romance and how Lili’s went down. I’m hope that was the authors intention not just a fluke. If intentional foreshadowing that makes for a good device to prep the reader but if accidental. It means that they didn’t know how else to handle the harem aspect besides how they handled it with the older sister. Either way I really did like guessing who each of the girls was going to get with. I like the idea of moving past a first love not too many stories do it.
