Reviews with content warning for Panic attacks/disorders - Twisted Hate

I thought for a second I was going to be a Josh Chen hater, but if Jules can forgive him then I forgive him. ☺️

This book was quite literally very unexpected. I had knowledge of Josh Chen haters, but never heard much about the story itself other than it is the only one in the series that has been marked 21+. This story was an emotional rollercoaster and I loved it so damn much.

The characters I feel started out unlikeable, but very soon after getting into the book LOVED them. The banter, the romance, THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS…. *screaming*. I sped read this book and could not put it down. Of course Ana had to throw in some true crime moments for drama, which I am always here for 😌🙌🏼

Of course Jules and Josh are definitely my favorite type of relationship dynamic, can we take a second to appreciate the friendship rebuild of Josh and Alex? So wholesome!

Overall, if you thought about skipping this book, definitely do not!

Josh Chen and Jules Ambrose are just so adorable. Their relationship development was slow in the middle but it was completely understandable as they had to transition from hate to love.

I can totally understand why booktok girlies would question how and why Jules could forgive Josh for what he did. Because he did indeed mess up, twice. I am also wondering that but considering the experiences they’ve gone through together, I’d say the development and establishment of their relationship was pretty well done.

Many people say the Twisted series has: 3 millionaires and a Josh.
And I’ll be honest, I want a Josh. What’s wrong with a Josh? At least he isn’t as stalker-ish as the other three 🤦‍♀️
He had all the love languages.
Words of Affirmation - his way with Jules was to bicker. (No I’m not being sarcastic)
Physical touch - we know ;)
Quality time -

would skip his fav trip just to

spend time with Jules
Gift Giving -

preparing a whole trip for her when Jules finished her bar exam? Dreamy

Acts of Service -

massage Jules when she had cramps and treat Jules well by spoiling her with her favourite food and drinks even when she didn’t ask for them

Overall, this book was pretty worth the read. I’d be honest and say that some characters and their plots are planned a little to basically, like the character Max. However, Josh Chen is the standard 🤩 (except his occasional clouded anger issues💀)
