I've never hated a book more. I know sooo many people love it but I can honestly not understand why. I have nothing against age gaps, I'm actually a huge fan, but this one rubbed me the wrong way. Ari was so naive and immature that she didn't seem like an adult. That's why the sex scenes made me extremely uncomfortable, especially the first one. There was no communication or clear consent, it just happened out of the blue. Their entire relationship dynamic makes me incredibly uncomfortable. It honestly just felt like grooming to me. I literally hated "Assistant", I normally love an Ice queen but she was not it. Ari kinda reminded me of myself with how socially awkward she is, but she was so immature and naive that it got annoying after a while. I also guessed the "plot twist" (if you can even call it that because it was so obvious and I have no idea how Ari didn't figure it out) but that's also not necessary a bad thing. I just finished it because I wanted to know what happens...I wish I hadn't.
