4.5!

The only kind I have for the story is the quick turnaround from the ‘love’ and relationship with her sister to loving her.

Oh than that everything was so good I really felt for her a lot of the times the angst was pulsating often.

It’s also crazy how her family incorporated, her sisters childhood sickness into having her be the center of their lives even as an adult.

To the point where the h even feels that her family would never choose her first and it kind of shows.

I definitely like the consequence for the sister and I wish it was a little bit more devastating so I could actually see it happen, but just knowing that it happened and knowing that her the future is gonna be horrible for her made me giggle.

I genuinely enjoyed this book throughout and it kept me hooked from start to finish which is no easy feat to accomplish
I did get serious whiplash from all the times a character seemed to have made up their mind about it/accepted something but had changed their mind by the next chapter. But like not in a bad way? I think I might need to do some soul searching about why I loved this book as much as I did (and I will do so by finding and reading the rest of this series and probably more).
Like this book tore out my heart, then stomped on it, then repaired and put it back, then kicked it into a den of hungry lions, then fixed it again. I've been a mess, not gonna lie, and this book is (like at least 60%) at fault for it.
Ares is such an adorable but edgy simp-dom? I don't think its a phrase but it should be and he should be the definition. Never have I seen a (fictional) man who is so sexily domineering but at the same time so simpily sweet and accommodating and caring.
And Raven! I did not expect this My Sister's Keeper stuff but oh man did it wreck me!! (It's one of my fav movies of all time)
Anyway I'm off to continue the series!

What a mess! And the sisters thing is so not well written at all.

You can't not fall in love with Ares. 
I never before read a book where throughout the whole thing I thought "I wish someone in the future treats me like he does her". 

From 0-100% this book had me in captivity. Reading this I felt like I was in my own bubble nothing was able to make me put this book down for more than a minute. Literally. 

I haven't even managed to copy many of the good quotes I read because I was so immersed in just reading. 

This book is medium long but the roller-coaster of emotions I went through made it feel longer than it is. Be prepared to smile, laugh, cry, giggle, scream, curse, sob, roll eyes and kick your feet in the air throughout the book.

Give this book a chance and Enjoy 💕

This was a good read, cute even. I just couldn’t get into how the mmc kept doubling back to the fmc’s sister. This story was honestly twisted. Raven deserved better but I’m just happy she ended up growing a pair and getting her happily ever after. I don’t think it’s a story , I’ll read again and won’t read the second book either. Again cute and nice read, just slightly not for me.
