Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - The Sweetest Oblivion

It's a 3,75 star because I loved reading it for its simplicity and how comfortable I felt while reading it. It was just right and this was my kind of book. Not too much drama no miscommunication trope. Just honesty and straightforwardness. it just didn't have the extra spark that made me feel all the big emotions.

I think I'll need some time to sort my thoughts after reading this. It blew my mind and had me on the edge of my seat. (I didn't expect that plot twist ngl) It's a shame I couldn't read it in one sitting. The tension is immaculate, it was a mix of the right amount of spice and drama. I loved the wholesome moments as well as the smh angsty(?) ones. And again the TENSION. I liked both Nico and Elena, but I loved Sebastian, Adrianna and Nonna the most (emphasis on I loved Nonna cuz she literally my spirit animal(?) ) The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the smutty scenes. Even tho they were Ok I was a bit uncomfortable reading them. But Overall it was a good book, would def recommend.

I liked this book although some things don't sit right with me.
It's a great book though, worth the read.

I hadn't read a mafia romance before and I realise through reading this book it's probably not my cup of tea, if this was someone's preferred genre I'm sure they would rate it higher but I just found the controlling aspects of the MMC and the fact that the FMC could not even leave the fucking house without him threatening to kill someone a bit much...
If you like dom/sub dynamics you'll like this book, but for me I wished the FMC wasn't apologising all the time for the actions of her jealous lover. I've got to admit he was so odd I kept reading out of curiosity to see what the next fucked up thing he would do or say.

However, I've heard the next one is better and yes I will be reading if ofc.
