“You were always mine, Chaos. Five years doesn’t change the fact that it’s always been me. Nobody else had a chance. So, that’s what I want. You. Not just your body. But you. Your personality. Your mind. Your problems. Your goddamn companionship. Because that’s what I’ve missed since the day I watched you disappear into the night. Stop trying to push me away. It won’t work.”

vou começar falando sobre o Aiden que é TUDO pra mim, simplesmente o que aconteceu quando eles finalmente transaram, eu fiquei UAU! infelizmente a principal é um saco, se eu explicar o porquê de eu não ter gostado dela vou ficar com medo de ser cancelada. a história é gostosinha de ler mesmo eu tendo demorado mais de uma semana pra terminar.
obs.: queria muito um livro do DJ!

You dared me to hate you and I do, thanks for confirming that I never back out of a dare.

I really just read this on a whim. It was entertaining, but the way mental health was handled wasn't for me. A girl running away and Ivy's entire story felt far-fetched in parts, but there should be a trigger warning for what is basically referencing prostitution. There may be a warning for it, I honestly have no idea. It's a friends to lovers romance that occurs years after the friends are separated. I liked Aiden, and I liked the ending very much.

For the most part, the fact that I finished it is all I can really say.

This childhood best friends to strangers to friends to lovers, college romance is book 1 in the Lindon U series. The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 stars is the FMC. I feel like the author was trying to make us think she was a bad ass, but all I could see was a victim. Granted, Ivy went through hell, and she was a survivor, so I would have liked to see more empowerment.

I really really loved the book, but that .5 part that I didn't liked was the confrontation between Ivy and her parents. Rest was a perfect mixture of emotions♥️

This book was a lot of hard truths and I really appreciated everything about it.
It was a 2nd chance romance but done in a hard way. She grew up in a bad home life and ran to him whenever she could and she was ready to run away she asked him to come with her and he said no.
He loved his home life and the career he was striving for so of course he wouldn't go. She didn't fault him for that later but she had to grow up fast and learn to survive.
Everyone always wanted something from her growing up and she understood that, he just wanted her and she didn't understand that. 
She feels like she needs to be on guard and protect herself from others but he's on her side and is trying to fight for her a spot in her heart.

I loved it , it was a harsh romance but I loved how hard the FMC was.
