This better be my worst read of 2024 because I cannot fathom how I finished this.
It’s just not good. There’s no sugarcoating it.
Outside of how ridiculously poor the plot is and then how shabbily it’s executed, the pacing is wildly inconsistent, the characters are not likeable in the least, and the writing is just not satisfactory. Whole sections of the story are skipped over, introducing wildly lazy plot devices that aren’t even enacted with any sort of care whatsoever. The romance is cringe inducing with a decided lack of honesty from Rex right off the bat and then his blatant disregard for Willow’s feelings regarding children are addressed by simply forcing her to get over it because that’s what he wants. End of sentence, no discussion.
The first third of the story matches the synopsis and expectations despite not being very interesting or engaging for the most part, but then the plot undergoes some sort of drug induced seizure because it’s on a real bad trip and goes completely off the rails and it’s an utter shitshow from then on out.
Do yourself a favour and walk away. Better yet, run very far away from the thought of even picking this up because I assure you, you WILL regret it muchly.
Do not let my sacrifice in finishing this be in vain. I lost some good brain cells for my troubles and they demand retribution.
