Lovedddd this book. Read it faster than any book I’ve ever read. It kept me “hooked” the entire time. There were no slow parts what so ever in this book!

Overall this book just wasn’t for me. I don’t vibe with the writing style and I came away from it feeling the characters were underdeveloped. For me, it almost felt like reading fan fiction, and while I’m not opposed to a spicy book, the lack of connection I felt between the main characters left them feeling a bit unfulfilling. 
So, yeah, I didn’t hate it, but it won’t be taking a permanent place on my bookshelf.

Whewwwww, I could not have cared less about any of the characters, or the plot, or any aspect of this story. Literally trudged my way through to the end 😬

Read it, just do it! This book is so well written I️ cant even put my thoughts into words. The characters are so fucked up in the best ways possible. The plot twists are insane, the story is so well developed it’s not like any other romance book. This had amazing romance but the plot was what very sucked me in.
