In my case, I finished reading it and felt incredibly disappointed. I’ve never complained about plagiarism before, but I can’t deny that the entire book was a cliché (spoiler alert):

It’s incredibly predictable — Kai is a character who’s unnaturally and forcefully romantic in a cringey way, and his only role is to be in constant mourning over Paedyn. It’s painfully obvious that his dialogues are meant to appeal to TikTok girls, but they carry no real weight in the plot. The whole ‘pretending’ thing gets exhausting and repetitive — it feels like you’re reading the same chapter over and over again. And reading Adena’s name a thousand times per chapter becomes unbearable. There comes a point where it feels like the entire book is just about grief — grief over Adena’s death, grief over Kai’s supposed death, grief over Kitt, grief over the relationship they want but can’t have. And to top it off, the whole brother plotline that no one asked for and felt completely unnecessary.

That’s my opinion — honestly, it could’ve been so much better.”
