3.0
one of the last quotes of the book, for me, perfectly describes their relationship and their dynamic,
"maybe his obsession shouldn't please me as much as it does, but part of why we work, so well is that we're both fucked in the head; equally tangled up in one another. "
they are truly a couple that has suffered through so much trauma throughout the whole book and for me, I fear, it did not amount to a good reading experience. Not to say that I don't enjoy fucked up characters in a book together, I truly do, but there is basically no resolution to their conflicts or trauma throughout the whole book.
their backstories were unnecessarily traumatic and their current lives not flushed out enough. all of that without mentioning how it was so heavily marketed as a rockstar romance for him to get on stage or barely talk about music and his art like once throughout the whole thing just to say that he was retiring and living with the love of his life. their obsession with each other and the great jealousy/smut scenes pushed me through the book and it will most likely carry me through the rest of the series. overall, I believe it was a disappointment considering how much I liked the first book, hopefully the third will pick it back up.
