4.5

I read the 1st two books long time ago, I loved them but couldn't continue reading. Had been in a reading slump this whole year and I decided to pick it up and boy was that a good decision. It made me excited for reading again and the dialogues and relationships were so effortless and so well written. it was very repetitive but maybe that's what dealing with addiction is, repetition. I was dreading through the middle of the book for rose and connar's and the leak was predictable for me. The relationship between the characters and their individuality is a 5 star but the repetition really affects

This book…these characters…destroy me. I love them so much it pains me to see them go through the situations they did in this book.

Lo is freshly back from rehab, we get to experience him sober. I really liked seeing Lo and Ryke’s dynamic this book because Ryke is dead set on keeping him sober, he will stop at nothing to make sure he succeeds. 

Meanwhile with Lo back Lily now has to put her restraining from sex to practice when he’s right there in front of her. I loved Lily’s therapist Dr. Banning, that woman got it and was just so supportive and understanding, she wasn’t trying to fix Lily she was trying to help her learn why she reacts to sex the way she does and teach her moderation and healthy ways to approach it and she encouraged Lo’s participation (unlike that fuckwad her parents have her go to, lock him the fuck up).

We also had some blackmail going on this book. Someone was threatening to reveal Lily’s sex addiction to the press which was wild and just so wrong. Lily and Lo have so much already going on and then to add that stress on top, it was just a lot. I’m really proud of them though for handling it as well as they did.

There was also some good Connor scenes this book and well as some Rose and Daisy.

The series definitely improved. As I said in my first review, I am addicted and Im now am coming to terms with liking the books. 

This book still focuses on Lilly and Loren developing and growing. Although their relationship and growth are not what kept me reading. I just love all the side characters. They really bring the story to life. I am totally hyped to now read Kiss the Sky and especially Hothouse Flower.

4,25 because this one really stressed me out but I LOVE THE DRAMA and the love. It was great to see more of Rose and Connor and also I think I’d like Lo better now if he was a real person and I happened to meet him. Daisy still kind of annoys me and I don’t like that I like when her and Ryke flirt (can’t wait for their book tho)
