GOD I AM IN SUCH A READING SLUMP!!! every book I pick up is entertaining enough but ends up being just okay for me 😭 is it me yall? am I the problem?

I did enjoy this roller coaster of emotions between isabelle, gaeton, and the beast - but I wanted more!!! I felt like they made isabelle open up to all of her thoughts and emotions, but didn’t really reciprocate until the end 🫠 I just want all of them to be happy!!!!

and I was super fooled into thinking beast’s ex-boyfriend was going to play into this, as they mentioned it every other chapter… like if you’re not going to use the plot point, why bring it up 🤡 

I went into this not expecting a cuddly teddy bear relationship between them, so I think the vibes just really threw me for a loop… 

also! I tend to enjoy this series more when there’s more drama and plot rather than just relying on the spice!!
