The plot revolves around Ava, a Chinese-American college
student, and Alex Volkov, a businessman. The tale kicks off when Ava's brother
embarks on an internship and entrusts Alex with the responsibility of looking
after his sister. In pursuit of this duty, Alex relocates to the brother's
apartment, initiating a friendship with Ava. As he provides support and aids
her in overcoming her water-related trauma, a deeper connection forms between
them. Both characters harbor traumatic pasts – Ava, scarred by her mother's
attempt to drown her, and Alex, haunted by witnessing his parents' cold-blooded
murder at the hands of business rivals. Alex spends his life preparing for
revenge against the family responsible for his parents' death.
My Review
To begin with, blame must be placed on BookTok for luring me
into this series. The initial chapters were lighthearted and amusing, filled
with cute moments that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, overall, the book felt
somewhat lackluster, leaning heavily on typical romance tropes without offering
much else.
On a positive day, I would give this book three stars.
