" You might enjoy this if you enjoy rivals-to-lovers, hurt/comfort, and epistolary tropes. Also, if you enjoy stories where very little is explained, and you have to let your imagination fill in the gaps.
You might NOT enjoy this if you don't enjoy Byzantine/opaque prose, or nonlinear narratives, or deus ex machina.
There's a parallel world where this story is 2x-3x longer, is a rom-com, and has been optioned for a Netflix miniseries starring Emily Blunt (as Red) and Amber Midthunder (as Blue). In this parallel version of the story, the exact same story beats are hit, and the exact same character arcs are made, but the prose is approachable by a mainstream audience. Sadly, we are not in the parallel world, but in one where the authors decided to try being clever. YMMV. "
