So I love this series and I love a the characters in this universe but Diana took me awhile to like. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t stand someone who is just mean to be mean. Because they don’t approve of someone’s lifestyle… yeah no. She had no reason to treat Shane the way she did. I didn’t find d it cute. She did redeem herself to where I was rooting for them but it took me awhile to like her. She is the reason why the book wasn’t a 5 for me. Otherwise I LOVED this book.

challenging emotional funny medium-paced

5.0

Finally got around to finishing the last 14% of this book. Life‘s been hectic lately.

Anyway, I loved Shane and Diana. The spice was hot hot hot. But their banter is what made me adore their relationship tremendously. Also, I loved how Kennedy managed to sneak in the name of 4/5 (or maybe I just missed the 5th one) 1D members.

The end was pretty emotionally loaded and you should definitely check trigger warnings.

I would‘ve wished for Shane to kill Percy, however, sadly I guess the way Kennedy decided to write it is closer to reality. What a joy to be a woman.

Can’t wait for the 3rd part now. <3

3.0

Diana and Shane had a lot of likable moments, but I found their story too heavy overall.

While the abusive ex gets charged and will likely face jail time, it just felt as though we are meant to believe because she’s strong she’ll get through it with the help of counseling. Add in the loss of his father, and the whole story becomes very sad. I personally struggled  to keep reading through to the end.

at first, shane annoyed me to no end with his money talk and shit but then he grew on me a lot throughout the book. i love diana. the smut was good—the balcony scene like shit. also elle, my girl, have you always been writing such traumatic subplots that i haven’t really been picking up on? either way, best of the new series so far
