amazing

I’m obsessed with mia knights writing style and getting to listen to it was an amazing experience especially listening to rothjas scenes is so interesting. I’m honestly so obsessed with the audiobook and cannot wait for bitter secrets to get one!!

Wrong narrator

The main character, Jasmine, comes from the crème de La crème of WASPish NY society and her anti-hero, Roth, is a brute of a man. The narrator, who read the story well, did not have the right voice for either of these characters or the supporting characters. This really ruined the story for me. Even the small details like the London concierge not having a British accent annoyed me.

I love it

This book is unique. As an avid reader, I read it a long time ago along with hundreds of others. I don't know if it's the same for you. I can devour books, but few of them really touch my heart. Most are just good and okay, and I soon forget about them. I strongly remembered this book. So much so that I waited months for the next part and was very disappointed when it didn't appear. I value this author very much, especially since I am a writer myself, and I find that the main character is wonderfully constructed. Her feelings, the way she perceives the world and matters, is incredibly real, not only because of the same occupation as mine - she is real as an artist. I feel exactly what she does when I write a book. She is a character with great depth. As for him - we don't really know. The single-person narrative makes him a mystery and it's a very strong aspect of this book. We see contrasting emotions in him - sometimes tenderness, other times ruthless coldness, and throughout the book, the question of who he really is grows. We are left without an answer. I want to find it in the next part and that... attests to the author's talent. Congratulations.

1 Star Cliffhanger for a Poorly Written Book

There’s so many cringy scenes in the book. I can’t take Roth seriously both due to the narrator and how he’s written. The ending was anticlimactic. I feel like the characters keep discussing the same thing and at the end it leaves no answers. Im all for a morally grey character but besides sex he doesn’t really offer her anything.

wow, why did I spend $ on this.

what is romantic about an abusive lead male? Dumb and subservient female lead? He literally hurts her physically, emotionally and mentally. The spice is nice but it is a fowll plot. Truly Ducking stupid. Please write better charactrs.
