The Addicted/Calloway Sisters series has been on my TBR for a while and I finally picked up the first book. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a book that's easy to binge and similar to the Magnolia Parks books - toxic relationship, drama, stupid rich people, braindead entertainment - and Addicted to You definitely falls under these categories.

The book was easy to binge and somewhat entertaining. I was never fully invested in Lily & Lo, they're so bad for each other and I didn't want to root for them as a couple. Lily started to annoy me towards the end, girl had me rolling my eyes and face palming. I liked the introduction of Connor and Ryke, if the entire book was just Lily & Lo off in their own world I think I would've DNF'd. 

I'm not itching to start the second book, but will probably come back to this series whenever I need a palette cleanser.
