He is way too possesive and the relationship is super toxic. Hoped for something else.

what i liked: literally almost everything, the main characters are loveable and there is a definitive arc of growth for both of them. my heart sang when they had their aha moments of realizing how they wanted to define the relationship and my heart literally ached with them when they had to make difficult decisions about duty vs. heart. i felt everything and got swept up in the story telling. 

what turned me off a bit: im just impatient and so sometimes i think think a slow burn is a little too slow. but again that’s because i just get so excited to get to the juicy part, which ultimately makes me appreciate the slow burn of it.

Okay first off loved it definitely better than twisted love . I will say that because the book takes place over four years there’s so much detail and it moves so fast. It all blends together nicely though. The emotional aspect is there and it really just tugs and crushed your heart strings. Definitely a rollercoaster ride but a pretty good one at that. On to twisted hate….

It is a good book. It was pretty predictable but there was a side plot that was unexpected. If yu dont like dark books and you need

a happy ending

then this book is for you.
