Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Ricochet

i am just breezing through this series, i'm obsessedddd.

normally, i get annoyed when mc's are split up and there's a lot of flashback scenes, but i think in the context of the story it really worked to help build the background to their relationship and made sense for what's happening. first book focused on the oblivious pining, this book hones in on their friendship over the years, which i feel like is only further cementing me rooting for them. and the present-time scenes w lo's dirty talk 🥵

again, connor provided some excellent comedic relief and stole the show, i'm loving his & rose's relationship. the only thing i didn't love in this book is the age difference between daisy & ryke and some of their conversations/bordering flirting that felt pretty inappropriate considering. i have seen that the authors say they wish now they had aged her up so i won't trip over it too much.

while i'm relieved these romance books are shorter, that abrupt end definitely has me running to the next book!

“You don’t make me miserable. You make me want to live. And I want to live with you.”

TW explanations: I tagged ‘domestic abuse’ as the mom hits Rose’s cheek in a brief scene (I wasn’t sure what else you’d tag that as). I also tagged ‘eating disorder’ as it’s mentioned that Daisy’s weight is being tracked by her mom including on her birthday (!!)

This book wasn’t bad. It’s 16 chapters so it’s pretty short and not a lot happened. But I loved seeing Lily get a therapist/the help she needs and can have someone to talk about it with. I know therapy has helped me a lot with my problems. Like another reviewer said, this book is somehow necessary and not necessary at the same time lol

It confirmed for me what I already knew: that the Calloway sisters’ mom is a terrible person and I really wish her daughters would go no contact but hey, I’m not the girls.

Also I skimmed/skipped the flashback scenes, I didn’t find them interesting🤷‍♀️

The first book was so much better or maybe I didn’t realize how whiny Lily is until 2 books in. Lo is just trying to do his best also and I love seeing his character develop. Lily did get less annoying near the end. Enough about them. ROSE AND CONNOR! Be still my beating heart. I love Rose. I connect to her character so much and I am really hoping we get more of her and Connor. As for Daisy….girl what are you doing?! Are you okay?! I feel like she needs some therapy and a sister sleepover.

I definitely liked this book better than the first one. Lily’s conversation with her therapist near the end had me tearing up because I related a lot. It makes me happy to see characters grow, and I’m excited to read the next one. Really the only thing that knocked it down a star was Daisy and Ryke’s relationship. I can get down with a lot of stuff in romance, but a minor/adult is just not it. Even though they aren’t together (yet, I imagine it’s coming eventually), Ryke’s comments to Daisy were just inappropriate for someone in their 20s to say to a just-turned 16 year old.
