Reviews with content warning for Panic attacks/disorders - Addicted to You

3.75-4 stars
I flew through this book and loved every second of it. However, it’s definitely not for everyone. It’s not going to be the fluffy romance you want but definitely not the serious book with depth either. While it wasn’t necessarily the best writing and time was passing in the book with no major changes, the tension, love, personal problems, and the characters were worth it for me to rate it high and obsess over it constantly. When I wasn’t reading, I wanted to be. If another book was written this way, I may have wanted more and rated lower; somehow this story left nothing to be desired and I loved it.

This was a tough but great story. I had to put it down several times just to collect myself and regroup but found myself picking up not long after each stop.

The depiction of both lily and Lo's addictions were so well written I found it difficult to read at times with the emotional and physical toll it took on both of them.

I feel this story is an important read for that very reason. People should read this to see just how bad addictions can be and the toll it can have on those with an addiction. But I feel it's especially important with the depiction of lily's sex addiction as it shows how it's not taken as seriously as other addictions, especially since she a woman with how society views a woman being sexual in the first place.

By the end I was very proud of both of them for taking steps to heal from their addictions after they both hit their worst. And I was so happy that they had gained a support system outside of just the two of them that they could rely on.

I'm excited to see what happens next for them in the following books.
