Breaking Drake by Joel Abernathy

4.0

I wanted to hate this sooo much... But I didn't. I have a Stockholm syndrome relationship with this series with it's perfectly imperfect cast of characters. That's the only explanation why I keep reading this. The gang is so dysfunctional they are weirdly functional if that makes sense. It didn't turn me into a sobbing mess like Collaring Chaz, and it wasn't a dnf like Taming Dante; but some passages cut me deep. I ended up feeling genuinely bad for Drake. Sometimes I wanted to throw my phone across the room. I hated Sterling so much because he was so fucked up, but I kind of like him? I loved the closure Dante finally got here. And I'll be reading the next one. Otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night wondering what I missed about their world.
