At first I thought this was going to be super cringe and a DNF. But I persevered and after a few chapters I was hooked. I loved Lennon’s character development and how incredibly strong she was whilst also being vulnerable. Pheonix, so wrong but so good. Side characters are absolutely brilliant and I laughed and cried so many times. Would definitely read a second book! Not 5 stars purely because of some repetitiveness and the beginning of the story, but overall loved it!

This book was absolutely perfect! The enemies to lovers trope was done so well and the spice 🤌🏻😍 there were so many emotions I experienced with this book. I loved every character so much. Every one of them had so much depth. The book was long, but I didn’t want it to end! The writing was truly beautiful. Also, I listened to the audio along with it and was not disappointed. 😏

Really enjoyed this story. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because at points in the story it kind of dragged. It was a lot of back and forth “do I wanna be with him or do I not?” Without having a fair amount of plot to distract. Wasn’t a bad story, it was just a bit repetitive at times. Overall, I would recommend.

Dude's committing arson and fucks the girl (who he has stolen his most famous song from) in front of the fire??? And in another scene, she wakes up handcuffed to the bed with a random woman between her legs while he touches himself and then makes this random woman kneel in front of him to cum on her face???

I think I need to desperately rethink all of my life choices because I didn't dnf the book
