I had a really hard time empathizing with the “bully” character in this bully romance. I do think Douglas did a great job illustrating some very real conflicts certain communities face and I loved that she did that!
Overall, it was a nice journey of self discovery. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
As always, check your trigger warnings before reading.
Happy Reading 😮💨📚

Diversity: Lesbain FMC
Tropes: Bullying Romance, WLW Romance,
Content Warnings: Bullying, Suicide, Loss of Parent, and Death of a Sibling (Cancer).
Tryst Six Venom is Penelope Douglas first every WLW standalone and it follows Clay and Olivia who has disliked each other for years or at least that's what they tried to convince themselves and everyone else.
I know this book has some mixed reviews and I was hesitant to start it because of that but personally I really enjoyed it.
I understand that bully romances are not for everybody and I'll be honest I had a hard time getting behind Clay because of the things she did in the beginning of the book, there where moments when I disliked her very much but I also understood her on some level.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and I know this is a short review but I read this book while ago and I'm just now getting around to writing this review.

I loved how it talked about different types of families, from broken families to tight knit from traditional to non traditional.
The way the bad character in this was amazing because I truly hate Callum with every ounce of my being and I would protect clay and liv till the very end.
If you want sapphic, enemies to lovers, kinda rich vs the underdog vibes with underlying messages of growing to accept yourself and following your hearts true desires then I can say without a doubt this book needs to be on your TBR like last week.
Just check the TW as this is defo 18+ in my eyes
