I will say that this book had probably put me in a slow reading slump. Not that I didn't want to read, but I just didn't enjoy the premise as much as I did the first one. I felt like it had gone stale at some parts and slower at others, and tbh I just didn't enjoy it as much as I did Twisted Love. I loved the characters, of course, but just something about it didn't have the spark that Twisted Love gave me.

This book is so much better than Twisted Love! Sadly, the bar is on the floor, so it's still not even remotely a good novel.

This books very much gives Princess Diaries 2 and I’m here for it! I was a bit nervous to read this one because I’ve heard the series gets better as it goes, but I’m not a big fan of a slow burn. But that really didn’t matter I loved it so much! I was obsessed with Rhys obviously and I liked Bridget more than expected too! Tbh I don’t know why I thought I wasn’t going to love this because it has consumed my every thought for the past 5 days! I think it would’ve been 5 stars if not for the classic 3rd act breakup type shit but I really wasn’t even that mad given the context lol

3.5⭐

I really liked this book, it was cute and had holesome and heart fluttering scenes, but I thought it had way too many sex scenes and it could have been a lot shorter. There were times that I would just get bored and didn't want to keep on reading but at the end it was fine, nothing to exceptional but not ordinary either. Above average but not much.
