Rika girl get up!!!!! 



(I am genuinely baffled at how this book resolved (???) the conflict. Michael didn’t even apologise and yet they just went back to fucking as if nothing happened. He literally destroyed her life and he was the one who came up with the plan!! And suddenly they love each other?? What!?? I do love my book boyfriends a bit toxic but this was downright abuse. The male protagonists were so rapey, sexist and disgusting and I just don’t understand how Rika wanted anything to do with them after everything)

I think this just wasn’t my cup of tea, but if you like dark romance I recommend giving it a try at least! I personally didn’t like certain characters to an extent that they made the whole book worse to read, but other parts and characters I did enjoy. All the side characters are quite flat imo. The flipping between past and present really worked for me, though I can see it not working for others.

idk what I just read. The "misunderstanding" was pretty obvious from the get-go, meanwhile revenge is all these guys talk about. I didn't really see Erika's kinship with the guys either - from just one night of hanging out? Also, the descriptive death of a dog in the epilogue was suuuuuper not necessary and left a terrible impression right at the end. Oh, but this was another one where the narrators were just awful and possibly ruined the book for me. (Plus Michael is one of the least sexiest names...)

Look, there’s a lot that I shouldn’t have liked about this book. And some of it I truly didn’t (really, you’re going to forgive all that at the drop of a hat?!). But I still had a hell of a time reading it and will definitely be continuing on with the series
