ted talk time: okay i just pulled an all nighter rereading this bc i dropped it right before the final plot twist for some reason, i think it was the final misunderstanding that got me and i didnt know it would be over soon. but anyways im someone that absolutely despises miscommunication/misunderstandings and there were times i was extremely frustrated read this, but wow i was highkey so emotional at the end and the comedic parts were so well executed. and omfg cedric's falling in love moment and forgetting to breathe was SURREAL i can only pray to experience that one day. one of my ogs is the reason why raeliana ended up at the dukes mansion so i wasnt ultra blown away at the final plot twist, but i do have to say the previous haley (now katriana) finding her own happiness was so sweet to me. i loved how all the main characters were morally gray, even the grandpa duke, and everyone found their happiness through different routes. i feel like fated love is kinda a controversial topic in this era, but i found it to be well-developed in this story. they naturally found their way back to each other, despite appearances, despite the situation. and you cant tell me dillon and cedrics romance isnt well written like come on. the only bone i have to pick is that we really shouldve gotten a lengthier ending, or at least the side stories but i understand the different variables that factor in there. anways a solid 8.8/10 simply bc i dont really like miscommunication tropes, but great nontheless
