I have been in SUCH a romance book lull recently — everything is boring me and I haven’t really been rooting for any of the characters I’ve been introduced to. this is such a breath of fresh air: lily and lo (not a fan of lo’s name but I’ll get past it) make it so difficult to not be in their corner throughout this book. I actually did not cringe ONCE reading this!! I’ve never read about addiction in such a well-approached manner. it’s confronting but not jarring, easy to read while opening my mind to new (at least to me!) struggles and complexities. I’m invested in all of the characters’ storylines and there isn’t an authorial decision so far that I’ve questioned or disagreed with. it’s so rare for me to be connected to a character-driven storyline and I’m loving it!

genuinely very excited for the rest of the series!

5.0

Such an amazing book, I literally couldn’t put it down and alt wash can’t wait to read the next book in the series. The book is so detailed and gives us some much insight into the characters that it make you fall in love with them. The authors details addiction in a way that is realistic by showing the negative effect it can have no only on the people around them, but also the person with the addiction. The addition of Connor and Ryke was perfect and the friendship between all the characters made the book so much better.

What did I just read? Why did I even read it?

I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely did not deliver. Also, the twist was obvious from a mile away.

I think I was swayed by those that said they loved the couple. I've read darker romances before and they've been meh to okay so I figured, maybe this is the one. It was not the one.
