This was an interesting read. I tend to read books without knowing anything about them besides what genre they fall under even though I don't know about all of them. When I realized it was about two people who were adopted by the same people I thought oh ok I can work with this since they don't see it that way but throughout the whole book it contradicted between Oh you are my sibling to Oh I don't see you that way so that made it a hint uncomfortable at times but I get that's a trope that a lot of people are into. It doesn't bother me but it also doesn't do anything for me. The spice was fantastic and quite dark. I felt for the MMC and my heart broke for him and the MFC. Overall I enjoyed this book. I don't know if I will go back and ever read it again but it was enjoyable
