well, i liked it more than i thought i would, but it still wasn't my favorite. i read the first two books back in 2021 and then never picked this up because i didn't think i would like jules and josh together. i will say that i came around to them by the very end (and i loved their cameos in twisted lies), but it was until the very end.

i honestly just was so disgusted with the whole "i lied" bit, iykyk, and don't know how josh is anyone's favorite twisted MMC - like i genuinely HATED him for that. i don't know if i would go as far to say it was sexual assault, but it was damn close if it wasn't

overall, i had a good time, but damn this book was way too long in length.

Man, this book had quite the hill to climb in my eyes. Jules and Josh are two of the most annoying characters I've ever read, so I'm thankful they stopped bickering relatively early in the story. Speaking of early on, Jules insults the size of Josh's genitals several times. A little odd already, but given that Josh is an Asian man, the comment becomes... racist? Bigoted? Whatever the proper term, it made me uncomfortable. All in all, I read this because I'm a completionist.

The biggest plot twist  is that Alex is my favorite of the guys in this series so far. And that he continues to grow on me. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

Overall, this was fun. I’d say it’s tied with Love for my favorite so far. I like Jules more than Ava, but Alex more than Josh. I think J+J’s relationship arc is more realistic, but A+A’s dynamic is more entertaining.

The best part, though, hands down, was seeing the stage set for the next book, which is unabashedly the reason I’ve read the others. Christian is so whipped already and it’s delightful. ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)

Current series ranking:

1. Twisted Love/Twisted Hate
2. Twisted Games

Representation:

• fat protagonist
• Chinese-American protagonist & side character
• multiracial side character (Japanese, Black & Puerto Rican)
• lesbian side character

Sexual content is explicit but always consensual. Sexual harassment is of one protagonist by a side character, in the form of using a sex tape as blackmail. There are mentions of death, near-death situations and child abuse from the protagonists’ pasts, and of blood and various injuries due to one of them working as an ER doctor. Things tagged minor are the methods of various deaths mentioned over the course of the book. It’s also mentioned that a side character was almost drowned as a child.
