Uhhh.
Hello???
This book. THIS goddamn book, was quite simply a masterpiece.

Because of my deranged mind I am a sucker for the kidnapping trope.
But there are still so many things I usually wish were done differently when I read those kinds of books.
But this fucking man knew how to kidnap someone properly!
God it’s too much to bear.

I mean, honestly, for me, everything was just great in this book.

I truly liked both the main characters.
Vasilisa’s desire to actually be a part of that world was one of my favourite traits about her. And I loved how she got the validation she deserved when being with Rafael. A common denominator in the “imperfectly perfect” series is the fact that the women aren’t really involved in their world, and it’s always bothered me, which is why I loved that she was different.
I feel like a lot of people will think “it must be such a hardship to be so pretty and get told you are all the time🙄🙄” but really, I think this is actually a common problem for a lot of women, and I loved how the book showed the importance of being loved for who you are and not how you look.

I feel like that was heavily interwoven with Rafael’s insecurities about his own looks because of his scars, and it was interesting to read everything with his gifts to her from both their point of views. Because he just wanted to give her an incentive to stay, but she never needed those things, because she just wanted him.

I felt like the story had a more solid plot than the other “perfectly imperfect” series.
Or maybe this book is simply longer? I don’t know. It felt different reading this one.

I loved the involvement of the characters from that series as well.
But it’s so difficult to imagine them as being a lot older.

I think the only thing I would change would be to see the relationship between Vasilisa and her father after the whole shooting incident.
She obviously hated him and didn’t even want to look at him straight after. And then things were fine and we never saw them have a conversation or something.

Honestly just read this book.
It was great.
I want to read it again already..maybe I will.
