I hated Kaleb the entire book, then the epilogue and I was like okayish I guess…. Not obsessed

The whole First part of the book gaslights you into shipping her with Jake. Which I was like okay with, I mean age gap but he was normal ish.

And Noah.

I feel like a threesome with a sibling is a limit for me. I mean the whole book gives weird incesty vibes but it wasn’t actually but it felt like it.

I’ve never been a Penelope girl particularly her stand alones but I liked the later books of the devil night series. I feel like if it’s going be dark keep it that way, don’t cosplay it as a contemporary romance.

The spice was spicing but the plot never plotted, not even for the spicy parts. Just still dumbfounded on the whole she slept with two brothers and their dad thing.

I just don’t get the whole Kaleb thing like how? Guy didn’t talk or communicate with you at all and you’re like love. Like I literally was plotting ways to get him out of the picture so she could be with Jake.

Where do I even begin....

This book was my first dabble into a taboo, and was pulled in from the first page.

This book consumed me, made me feel, and broke my heart at points. The character development I truly enjoyed and loved how all 3 men had different personalities.
They needed her to come in and shake things up in their life just as much as she needed them. The intensity with Kaleb was breathtaking. Noah is the feel good character that also has depth. Jake is the mature one but also has some growing to do. I was happy and sad at the same time that this wasn't a why choose but I knew a choice was needed and was so happy at who she chose.
I would definitely recommend this to people who need something a little different that rides a fine line.

Okay but… Kaleb is everything… I fell for him the moment they introduced him. I just had this feeling about him from the beginning. The ending made me cry so much…I was sobbing for 20 minutes straight. I hated Jake I won’t lie. There was something wrong with him. Noah was fine. My second all time favourite book. In love. I was really going to give it 3-4 stars at the beginning but after finishing the whole book…definitely 5 stars.

All I have to say is this book made me feel all kinds of disgusted. I read punk 57 and was obsessed with it. This was just distasteful. Persevered because I don’t DNF but this book challenged me on that.
No character development. No great storyline. Only good thing was well nothing
