Highly entertaining, but sometimes you will question how our main female character can not say anything when her boss is being so hot and cold with their emotions. Also if my roommate had ever violated my room to sleep with some random guy when she had a room of her own to do that, I 💯 would have been kicking her out. So disrespectful. The fact her second roommate talks her down from doing exactly that and tried to gaslit her about how crazy it was made me question if their girl comes from an abusive home because you would need to be a custom to such treatment to continue to allow it that be happening.

Review after half of the novel

Interesting, funny and dramatic. I like the concept and the story line although the drama is still the main concept and sometimes it can be a lot and you need to stop for a (little) breathe. But apart from that, I like this book, it is no boring so far and it keeps you in suspense you cannot resist to wait for the next chapter and see how things are going to be, because you think the characters are going to react in a way but every time they act completely different from what you thought, and I like that. Very unique.

Review after half of the novel

This is an absolute good read! Once I started reading, I, really, just could not stop. Very Good work! I am very appreciative of the story line and having both perspectives of the main character's. The thought processes of June and of Hermes gave the story of special touch. Especially, because they both are crazy about each other from tge start .😄 I love how naturally human the characters feel lol. It was super intriguing from the very start.

Review after half of the novel

We’re wired to look for patterns and feel in control—like we’re predicting what’s coming next. Then something flips the script, and suddenly you realize the rules were never what you thought. It creates that double feeling: fun because it’s surprising, and unsettling because it exposes how limited our control really is. A lot of great storytelling—and even games or puzzles—play with that tension. They let you feel in charge just long enough that the twist actually means something. Without that illusion of control, the surprise wouldn’t land as hard. And zooming out a bit, it does echo something real: we make plans, build narratives about our lives, but there are always bigger systems, randomness, and other people shaping outcomes in ways we can’t fully steer.

I like this novel plot. The intensity... the excitement... the wondering what is going to be next ... there is never a dull moment for June.. I like the fact that you can't really see what's coming next..... you want to keep reading ... you want to know so you keep going. I love the story line. Something different and exciting. The writter keeps the audience glued and interested...I can't wait for the next chapters excitement!!! Another late night 😄 🥰 😅

Love the story line it’s got a real slow drag but it’s super good and detailed just wish chapter were slightly lobger but it’s interesting and a very very addictive read easy to get hooked great characters and strong female lead with a good attitude and dark male lead with a big ego like he’s the boss he likes to run things and be in control and in charge if he doesn’t have control he’s

This is so. Good. So so good. I haven't enjoyed a story this thrilling in so long. Its brought back by love of reading. I absolutely hate that im running out of coins so quickly. Every time I tell myself im not buying any more I hit a cliff hanger and I have to keep reading to find out what happens. My husband hates me. I e been stuck in my phone the last two days reading this. I cant get enough of it!

I love how it’s a dual POV and not just the MC with an occasional chapter from the guy. There are some parts that are a little hard to follow at first but everything gets tied together well. If you want a slow burn this is definitely the book for you lol. I do like that it has some action at first between the two. I like the dialogue the MC has as well, super funny and Gen Z coded.

A great novel, I love it!! 😻 the story is very catchy and keeps me up at night as I can not stop reading it. the amount of adds however is a bit annoying. Subscription a bit overpriced to consider. Hopefully better specials will be available soon. I need more words to complete this novel review in order to get more points, great. Putting a minimum number of words on a review, misleads the purpose of an honest review. Hope it’s helpful :)
