A Quick Solid Read with just a bit of Disappointment

Reviewed: 06-19-22

I decided to rate the book at 4 stars because this is a small publishing company that will be producing the types of books that I want to read. While parts of this book were cringy and the pop culture references will not hold up in a couple years, I do think this is a solid book. I loved the premise and while Jasper does come off as cruel and uncaring I can see why he would. I wish there were more sweet scenes instead of it being so dramatic from start to finish. Max gave Jasper one too many chances in my opinion especially towards the end of the book. The narrator also did not have consistent voices for some of the side characters, particularly the female characters. My biggest issue with the book is the unsatisfying ending, which sets up a sequel that at this point I am not sure I will read. The antagonist reveal was surprising to me and I thought was handled pretty well. Overall, dispute the issues I have pointed out I really enjoyed the book and had it been a single installment I may have loved it but the ending really left a bad taste in my mouth.
