maggieed's review against another edition

For me personally, I was not a fan of the sexual scenes in this book. They seemed  dragged out and overly descriptive, in my opinion. I think I could have pushed through and finished the book if I was more attached to the characters. I did not like the relationship between Miles and Tate, nor them as individual characters. I also wasn’t a big fan of the writing but the plot was quite fast-paced. That being said, I am not typically a romance reader so I can see why some people love this book. It just wasn’t for me as it’s not a genre I particularly enjoy.

Don’t know exactly when I read it
It had a good beginning, not too fast but not too slow. We really got to know the characters and could see them developing throughout the book. I like the overlap between Tate and Miles stories. We got to see Miles do something and then we got to see something from his past that helped us understand his decisions. Some parts of the book were confusing tho, mainly the elevator man. But the book didn’t really have a storyline. It was just sex and fighting basically. It was a bit slow sometimes. The ending was really good tho! It had me in tears, which not many books are able to do. But as I said earlier, it was a bit slow and was basically only sex and arguing. I’d like to have something exciting happened that hasn’t happened 10 times already. That’s why it only got 3 stars. Everything was just the same, no variation.

The only problem i find with this book is how much of a pushover Tate is after claiming she wouldn’t put up with the same bs her friends go through. It kind of made her character less believable to me because her actions totally contradicted what were meant to be her thoughts every. single. time. Miles screwed up. And he did. A lot. Even Madi from Euphoria got sick of it eventually.
