Slow Insta Love… Who knew!?
4.5 stars - includes some spoilers
Let me start by saying, I LOVE insta love, it’s the majority of what I read. The main difference between this story and others is that it’s longer than I expected for an Insta Love. I don’t say this as a bad thing, if anything it’s great! We get all the intricate details and relationship growth that we don’t typically get in Insta love! Most that I read range from 150-200 pages. As a result, I found myself getting anxious and waiting for the other shoe to drop for most of Shay and Trey’s story! They have such a long history and an already established relationship. As a result they get together rather early on in the story, hence the Insta love. So from 20% to about 80% I kept panicking and wondering when things were going to blow up!!
In all, CC does an amazing job of growing both of these characters, and the supporting characters. (I’m looking at you L and Kings!). Instead of growing a relationship, they are growing individually and figuring out how they fit into and already established relationship but with new dynamics. It was such a fresh take on Insta love.
Spoilers…..
I was ecstatic when I read the conversation between shay and her dad! Finally, someone was telling her all the things I was yelling at the two of them throughout the book! It’s when I had my proud momma moment with the characters. The loved, the learned, the grew and were better off for it!
Now, onto book two so I can see the outcome of the Devi stating news Trey for at the end! I hope our boy Trey and Pops are okay!
