Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - Addicted to You

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.

I just didn't feel like this book lived up to all the hype that I had put on it. Obviously I knew going in that it was going to be about addiction and their fights with it but I guess I just had never really been in the mindset of an addict. I think this book really put into perspective for me how all-consuming addiction is no matter what your vice is. That being said though, it was kind of exhausting to read. I was angry at Lily for her being so upset with Lo about his addiction but not wanting to do anything about her own issues. I prefer a book to be filling and I love fluffy romance and this just wasn't that for me. I don't think the writing was bad and I do believe that it was a really great representation of how an addict thinks but it just wasn't for me.

I flew through this book and loved every second of it. However, it’s definitely not for everyone. It’s not going to be the fluffy romance you want but definitely not the serious book with depth either. While it wasn’t necessarily the best writing and time was passing in the book with no major changes, the tension, love, personal problems, and the characters were worth it for me to rate it high and obsess over it constantly. When I wasn’t reading, I wanted to be. If another book was written this way, I may have wanted more and rated lower; somehow this story left nothing to be desired and I loved it.
