Reviewed by Mira HeimannDieses Buch ist den Hype absolut Wert. Ich bin obsessed mit dem Enemies-to-Lovers. Und vor allem sind sie nicht schon nach 100 Seiten Lovers, sondern man merkt wirklich das sie sich hassen. Jude ist außerdem so ein toller weiblicher Hauptcharakter. Ich liebe, wie sie sich von niemandem (vor allem nicht von machtgeilen Männer) sagen lässt was sie zu tun oder zu lassen hat. Außerdem kann ich manchmal auch etwas mit dieser Wut realsten die sie empfindet. Auch der Fakt das Cardan nicht lügen kann, erstmal größte green Flag, macht es an machen Stellen so süß und gibt schon einen Vorgeschmack auf was uns in den nächsten Büchern erwartet. Zum Glück habe ich die in weiser Voraussicht bereits gekauft.
Reviewed by Hells🦦I really liked it and couldn't wait to read the next one, but with that cliffhanger it makes sense. There were nice twists that I didn't anticipate mainly because I just read the book and didn't think about plot. But it was nice to see the story unfold and Jude grow.
