Rose Holder's Reviews

This review contains spoilers. The way the main character and other higher ranking people in this story talk about commoners - the commoner girl in question - is really gross and off putting, but the story treats it like some boss babe shi.
It’s a bunch of wealthy people who’ve never known struggle in their life bullying a single orphan commoner girl and disguising it as helping. The maid going so far as to say she hopes the girl loses her baby? Hello??

A lot of these stories have a problem with casting commoners as villains without considering the power imbalances of the world they live in - but this one feels on another level. It’d be nice if the story turned around and ended up making a commentary on that, but I’m not holding out hope…

This review contains spoilers. This one’s frustrating. So much of the story has me screaming “just go to the police!” The main character has no spine, and even when she ‘stands up for herself’, she doesn’t explain anything to anyone about her harassment.
And the whole lynchpin that’s keeping the ex boyfriend in the sister’s grip is pathetic. She’s not holding anything over his head. She threatened to kill the sister in a way that could have been easily stopped, or at the very least, reported after the fact, but the bf did nothing.

I also greatly dislike the idea that someone who was sexually abused and abandoned as a child would grow up to be basically a jealous sociopath who would choose to inflict the same kind of pain on someone else.

All around, needless conflict, spineless characters, and a bad message about victims of childhood abuse.

…It’s also not really a thriller, there’s no mystery or suspense, it’s just chapter after chapter of kicking the MC.
