geooo's review against another edition

It is horrible. The writing, the plot, the characters, the dialogue are horrendous. I do not understand how this trash is so popular. He is a bitch and she is an annoying brat. I can't fathom how he is supposed to be the love interest. He is a pedophile and when she gets slipped a rape drug he is more concerned with his dad finding put than her. His response to everything is violence. He is just a spoiled, rich little boy who thinks everything in the world is owed to him. Disgusting.

You know what’s good about movies- you don’t have to hear the inner monologues of the characters. I read this because the movie was so bad that I was curious. Let’s just say that I regret it but mama didn’t raise no quitter 🫡

It was an enjoyable read but there were definitely some editing mistakes made when it was translated into English. 

I would still recommend checking out this book and the movie though. The movie on Prime is especially awesome.

romanceschmomance's review against another edition

3.5

Yes, you bet that I picked this book up immediately after I finished watching the movie, Culpa Mia. Let's just say that I devoured both.

Overall, I quite enjoyed this book, the writing was a little juvenile and akin to other well-known new adult romance novels that popped up around 2017. However, there's a bit of a suspense and some darker tones. 

There's no doubt that Noah and Nick are bsolutely gone for each other. Nick didn't quite come across as his age, I mean... They were playing 'Truth or Dare' at his 22nd birthday party. To me, his character felt like he was still in high school. 

Knowing that this is a trilogy, I'm curious to see what/whom the antagonist will be. I have a couple guesses stemming for certain characters and situations that could possibly leave them apart. 

I'm hooked and I can't wait until the next one comes out because I'm eager to see where this story goes. 

Thank you to Bloom books for the review copy.
