Baby when I tell you this was unhinged beginning to end, I was here for all of it. Not a lick of sense or couth was involved and I loved every minute.

This was one of the most unhinged men I have read about!! If nothing else, I had a good time because I was dying laughing the entire time!!! Jaseon is really 1/1. What I really enjoyed about this book was that it did not just rely on an unhinged man & humor, but it actually had a good plot.

Two manic people coming together in the name of love and family…outstanding. The way I turned this pages was ridiculous but that read was so good. Bebe just had class and crazy oozing from her pours. Not the one to be played with she held her on in every situation. Jaeseon knew he wasn’t going to be able to tame her so what did he do, had her back each and every time she went full blown manic. They were a perfect match made in crazy hell. I would love to see a book on Amir and Mo cause that Amir was a whole fool.

“Cuffed by a Maniac” by Nek Mills is an exhilarating journey that takes the reader on a wild ride through the depths of obsession and the heights of romantic passion. The story is centered around the captivating dynamics of Jaseon and Breonna, two characters whose interactions are as unpredictable as they are enthralling.
Jaseon, with his obsessive yet endearing nature, brings a level of intensity and humor that lights up the pages. His antics, particularly his interactions with Breonna, are laugh-out-loud funny, showcasing Mills’ skill in blending dark themes with comic relief. Breonna, Jaseon’s teacher at a childcare center, is the perfect counterpart to his unhinged behavior. Their relationship, though fast-paced and chaotic, is a perfect representation of their personalities - quick, spicy, and undeniably manic.
The novel does not shy away from exploring darker themes. Family issues, threats to their lives, and questions of loyalty and trust are woven seamlessly into the narrative, adding layers of complexity to the characters and their relationship. This is not just a simple love story; it’s an exploration of the lengths one will go to for love, and the strength it takes to choose trust in the face of adversity.
What sets “Cuffed by a Maniac” apart is its ability to balance the dark with the light. The sour moments in the characters’ relationship are skillfully offset with sweet, tender moments, reminiscent of the ‘sour patch kids’ candy – first they’re sour, then they’re sweet. This dynamic keeps the story fresh and engaging, ensuring that readers are constantly on their toes.
