Yes, it's character based and probably over dramatic but if you like the characters the ending will have you in a chokeholed (at least I was lol). Not overthinking this review but straight off the bat and influenced by the emotional ending it's five stars.

I just didn’t connect with the characters. It didn’t even bother me that they were such a toxic mess, that’s fine. But I just didn’t find myself rooting for their relationship at all. It felt like a lot of random one-shot scenes about characters without much of an overarching plot. That’s fine when I really connect with the characters, but this one just fell short for me.
I also didn’t like all these random people conveniently swooping in to save the day for no reward in return. I called the one “twist” from a light year away because it just made absolutely no sense that it would be anything else.
I’m still open to giving these authors another go to see if I like a different title better. I don’t know. I really wanted to love this one and I wish I would’ve been hooked/emotionally invested like a lot of the other reviewers.

I read this in less than 24 hours, more like less than 16 hours to be more exact. I finally got into it after consecutively avoiding for a year and a half. The gossip girl vibes are definitely present throughout this too. Anyways this was kind of rough for me to get into in the beginning. I read the first few chapters and went back and forth contemplating if I should dnf or not but I'm glad I pushed through. The writing style threw me off a bit because it's not the best in all honesty but it was still good for what it is.
First impressions of Lily and Lo in terms of likability is that I don't like them. It's hard to" like" them because of what they are doing to and for each other. I do have empathy for them. I know that everything will be okay eventually and I can see the potential they have but still. I believe in them though. I want to see them get through this. They are a very toxic couple but despite everything you see how much they care about each other which I loved.
I knew that this was going to be about addiction obviously but I didn't think it was going to be like THAT. Especially the last few chapters of the book. Those last few chapter made me feel emotional pain that I haven't felt in the longest time while reading lol. I love how everyone was introduced in the first book, I thought the rest of the characters would have been introduced as the series goes on but I was wrong. I already know Rose and Connor are going to be my favorites. Rose is my favorite so far. I love them already. How am I going to make it through 9 more books??
I will say, I can understand why people don't like this.
I have so much more to say but overall I think it was okay for what it is. I liked it mostly if you can even say that since it's two people battling addiction. I will be continuing with the rest of books.
