BOO 👎🏽
Damien sucks! The whole Archer family sucks! Emilia's family sucks and Emilia SUCKS for caving in so easily. Literally every single person in this book sucks ass. Moana and friends included. If my bestfriend told me her husband USED her to get back at his ex and then let everyone assault and bully her? I would have scratched his eyes out. Especially if I had a spineless friend like Emilia, one of us has to be crazy cos there ain't no way I'm letting a man do us like this 😭
Both families were disgusting, Duncan included. What I can't seem to fathom is how everyone just BELIEVED the lies Bianca and her mother spun, did no one for a milli-of-a-second stop to think "Hmm...geeze, this story about a girl I don't know seems heavily embellished?" Like what actual sane person just believes a one sided narrative like that? Wild. Even Emilia's dad gaslit himself into thinking his daughter was a lazy gold digger SMH
I think this series would have been rated higher if Emilia was given more space to heal and Damien grovelled more. I'm also disappointed that the author didn't explore Emilia coming into her own person. I would have loved to see her art work getting picked up or becoming more established as a great fck you to all her haters kinda thing. I think it would have been vsry healing for Emilia and us as readers. This man committed the most heinous act of betrayal and all he had to pay for his penance was a few weeks of silent treatment and being the big spoon. I don't know...maybe I'm spiteful evil bitch cos I could neverrrrr 😂 I would've cut his clothes up and scattered them on our front lawn. Or at least throat punched him.
While I really want to rate this book a one star, I can't deny this book started great so I'll settle for two stars. Sadly I don't think this author matches my vibe so I will not be reading any other works.

Honestly, it should have ended when the FMC told them they were all horrible p..."They were TERRIBLE. I cannot believe there was not a single redeemable character in this book. Literally every single one of then sucked ass. You're right, she deserved to live happily ever after far away from them.
I would go full scorched earth on these ppl. All the accumulated years of anger just set loose 😂
Your second to last paragraph is so spot on!! It is seriously ALL about the grovel! Half the time I wonder if I'm just messed up because I'm over here scorched-earth it girl!!! And it was the biggest let down. I also felt that the book started out great and had me totally hooked. I'm bummed the ending was a let down though.
The entire time all I could think of was, if someone treated me the way literally everyone in the book treated the FMC, I would never be able to forgive, I would be burning someone's house down
