and it is no exaggeration when i say it's a goddamn masterpiece. i can ramble on and on about it. it's incredibly gutwrenching. yes, there is Stockholm syndrome but it's written incredibly well and realistic. one of the best Stockholm syndrome and enemies-to-lovers stories I've ever read. the usage of first-person perspective is executed to perfection. all characters except for hugh and a couple of named characters elicited some sympathy from me to some degree, even if they are twisted. and jerome? I'm hooked, captivated, i hate him yet i love him. he is mysterious and full of contradictions. he's so morally black yet he's so humane. his backstory is very similar to mc's. he never admits it, but it's clear he loves mc from his actions as the story progresses, yet sometimes he still does things that hurt him. even then, his motivations are clear even if it's not explicitly conveyed. him and mc... they have my heart, and i will probably still be thinking about them even after finishing the story.
