How Does It Feel?

Average rating3.6
How does it feel was... well honestly, I don't know how I feel.
I read it in a day, and while it was a quick interesting read, there were many parts I didn't like.
The FMC Callie was not my favorite. She was very much a 'pick me, i'm not like other girls' character, and was written to have no friends, be a real life barbie with blonde hair, perfect figure and short (and have it mentioned like 20 times) and doesn't cuss, but is a very intelligent scientist. Idk, I don't like the vibes of everyone loving her, like a snow white situation, it was giving special snowflake... and turned me off of her as a character. To add to this, her weird story about some professor who belittled her, then asked her out, and then she was offered his job right after? Idk, it didn't make sense. Also, she was tortured and imprisoned by the MC and then still was into him? I do not understand.
Then we have the MMC who is trying to kill her, imprisons her with a weird creature who tries to r*pe and SA her, and who gets off on her fears while hurting her. He avoids her for the whole time and then suddenly is deeply in love with her after like 1 conversation.. Idk, I didn't like that either. Sure he was hot, but no intelligent woman is going to fall for a man like that, i'm sorry. He is not a Rhys in acotar situation, he is 1000x worse.
The trial thing was similar to the acotar trial but also totally different. It was not particularly original, but it was interesting to read. I didn't love the romance portion, again, it didn't make any sense to me at all and went from 0-100 so fast I was confused.
Finally, the ending. I HATED the twist. I did not like it, and it didn't make sense for the story being from her POV. It was too much of a twist to be plausible and just information withheld from the reader. I honestly felt betrayed as the reader and I did not like it. It was weird and out of the blue and felt like a different plot line, but it didn't fit into this book.
While I am writing this review I have already read the second one and it got even worse... so that's great.
Overall, I think this just was not for me. I didn't love it. It had potential and I idea was super interesting, but it was not for me.
