I wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I picked this one up. But overall, it left me wanting more. I'm used to the darker side of things and this one was just on the slower side. It had a lot of dark/drama potential but then it would never cross into it or focus solely on it, and I needed it to play out. But the biggest thing was the baby daddy never even appeared! He could've caused so much drama and we even see his parents cause issues, but we never actually see him! I get that he didn't want anything to do with them but the fact that his parents were pushing so much just felt like it should've been them pushing him and then him causing the issues. Even then the drama was just wrapped up too fast/easily and I just feel like we put so much work into this drama but never got to that point that it actually paid off since it was cleared up really fast/easily. It just wasn’t for me. I feel like that’s how I felt towards all of Huxley’s books that I’ve read so far. So maybe they just aren’t for me.
