The Life You Stole by Jewel E. Ann

an impossible review
Things start to get dicey for Evelyn and Ronin. Will they make it out of all the complications alive? Together? Happy?
I’m so lost for words that I don’t know how to review this book.
Honestly, I hated every single thing that happened except the end. Every. Single. Thing. But I didn’t hate the book itself. The writing is so gripping and immersive, and I was so completely invested which is why I felt so strongly about all the events that took place.
So many lies, so many secrets, not an ounce of communication. And I don’t just mean between Evie and Ronin. All of them. So so so much could have been avoided if they’d just been honest with each other!
I mean, why didn’t Ronin just tell her he could feel Lila the moment it happened? When it was still innocent and they could have figured out a schedule or a way to harness their connection in a non-marriage-destroying way???
Why didn’t Lila tell anyone the truth once she decided she no longer cared? No longer wanted to live?
I can almost understand why Evie didn’t tell Ronin or Lila about Graham’s inappropriate comments, threats and advances. But I don’t understand why she kept pushing Lila onto him.
And how in the actual fuck did neither Evie nor Ronin figure out that Graham was abusing Lila? It’s like they didn’t even suspect it when it was just so obvious!!!
I hated the cheating bit so much. So so much. I appreciate that the heat of the moment and feelings etc made it hard to resist, but they shouldn’t have been in that position (literally) in the fucking first place.
Could I put this book down? No. Would I recommend it? Only to people who like a bit of soul destroying in their reads. Did I love the writing? Yes. Would I read it again? No. I can’t put myself through that again. Will I have a book hangover from this? I already do.
