In my experience, authors usually end up doing this when they've accidentally made Mr. Wrong more interesting/likeable than Endgame McBland. The quick fix to that is to write it so that Wrong's only got layers because he's Evil.

Well, "Mr. Evil" here was always "evil" if we're agreeing with the OP's opinion (he's obviously on the side of the actual evil group, that's his whole thing from the beginning, and the MC knows this and knows he's making the wrong choice by still seeing him), so it wasn't just a tacked on thing. And IMO "Endgame" is an interesting character by himself, "dark secret" that wasn't really not withstanding. It's just that his relationship with the MC was underdeveloped.

Again, I am familiar with the trope and reasons for it and I hate it, but this book is not it.

I meant to post to the main thread and not as a response to your comment specifically. I haven't read the book, so I've got no skin in this game. As you said, it's ridiculously overplayed trope in YA romance and it's usually because Endgame is bland as dry toast once they're not pretending he's "mean" anymore.
