NICO AND ELENA ARE CUTE TO ME! this has been on my tbr for so long and it did not disappoint. A slow burn mafia made love story. The slow burn had me screaming and giggling. Nico is engaged to Elena’s sister which obviously puts a dampening on their connection, mostly physical.  They both assume many incorrect things about each-other and hide how they feel for like the entire book. When drama ensues, Elena ends up engaged to the brooding, rude Don while trying to hide her own secrets.   I loved how the third act conflict was put together like ugh it was done so well. I do think Elena was written with a bit too much internalized misogyny for my taste, just not the best way for a woman to be described. I really ship them. The tension was so tasty. The Sweetest Oblivion embodies angst, possessiveness, organized crime and strained family dynamics fed into an intriguing love story between sweet Abelli and Ace ♠️💞 I wished we had more Nico povs but otherwise I had so much fun :)))

“I would make this girl want me, need me, love me, because fuck if I was going at it alone.”
