5 stars - I saw myself in this, and I felt so loved.

It's not often I see myself so accurately or deeply represented, much less in one of my absolute favourite genres. Things kept popping up that made me go "oh my gosh, did she read my mind?"
I don't think I realise or am fully aware of just how much I need to sometimes see people with experiences that mirror my own, especially in terms of disability, until I do and it rocks me to my core. When I started reading this book I wasn't expecting to cry because of shower chairs, but here we are.

This book is funny, exciting, sexy and emotional. It is both catharsis and acceptance.
All my love to this story, these characters and their author.

Killer clowns say disability rights!

I'm sad to say that this just wasn't the book for me. I didn't care for any of the main characters and the plot just didn't grab my attention.

Oh my goodness. I loved this book, to start with. Bunny's character spoke to me in a way that a lot of characters don't. I very much enjoyed seeing a disabled character whose struggles weren't shown in the light of being an inconvenience. Not only that, but it showed that a disability doesn't stop you from living a worthwhile and whole life. I think this is something that should be incorporated into more books as just a part of who the character is, as opposed to a major plot point or character arc.

The men in this story were wonderful, but isn't that the reason we read romance? Eddie, Spencer, and Alex were delightful and I was pleasantly surprised to be more intrigued by the clown makeup than I expected to be. I have been excited to read this book since I first came across the preview for it on TikTok and it surely did not disappoint. This is also the first book I've read by Molly Likovich, and I will surely be checking out more in the future.

*I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review*

One night, Bunny Reed and her roommate attend a pop-up circus that changes her life forever when the show's clowns, Alex, Eddie and Spencer take an interest in her.

At this point, we should just assume that I'm going to give anything Molly writes a 5-star rating. Her writing is extremely witty and you'll find your self laughing at the banter between her characters. She also has a way for writing EXTREMELY DISLIKABLE CHARACTERS (I'm looking at YOU, Alex) but you still want to read about them because they're so intriguing. She also discusses heavier topics such as trauma and what that looks like for different people, in a masterful way that will not only pull at your heartstrings, but have you deeply resonating. As always, the spice is spicing and I highly recommend you pick up this book and send in the clowns.

P.s. EDDIE FOR THE WIN TILL THE DAY I DIE (but he is also a tad MESSED UP - but its fine).
P.s.s Alex can suck it - the bar is LITERALLY on the ground with that man.
