I'm utterly speechless. Starting this book I didn't think it could get this dark, this twisted, this intense. I've read quite a few forced proximity books but they were all chill compared to this one. There were scenes where I just had to take a break from reading because I couldn't stomach what was happening. This book is low-key Jigsaw meets Romeo & Juliet.
Avery (the h) at first sounded like just another average heroine but after seeing what she went through and her undying power I'm stunned by her character. Rome was equally interesting and so powerful to me. You first see him as this rich boy turned tattooed street drug dealer and you begin to judge him but as the book and storyline progress, we get more in-depth into his character. This love between these two was stained as a result of 10 years of pain and distance but it never grew weaker. What they went through bonded them together with the most terrifying yet beautiful twist the author could provide
the plot: Avery Capulet put Rome Montague in prison a decade ago when she stood in court and lied against him in favor of her family who had taken away the Montagues' fortune as a result of their rivalry. Now Avery must agree to an arranged marriage her father organized for her to continue the Capulet's dynasty while Rome spends his time selling drugs as an ex-con. The events that follow next force Avery and Rome to connect again in the most twisted way. but the real question is, can they survive together?
