I devoured this book. I didn’t think I was going to like it but I ate it up.

I loved Damien. Sweet, kind, loving, with a touch of possessiveness. He showed Abbie what true love was when she had no clue. Richard was a grade A dick and abuser I hope he rots. Abbie’s story was emotional and heartbreaking.

I wish her entire personality wasn’t based on wanting be like her sister. It makes me wonder who is Abbie at her core. Also the entire time she refused to tell Damien I felt so bad for him!

I was honestly here for the vibes and I couldn’t put it down.

This was cute. I liked the relationship between Abbie and Damien, and their interactions. I liked that we get to read about them falling in love, and we’re not just told that they’re falling in love. This book loses half a star because Damien calls her “whore” in bed, which is supposed to be a turn on?? Gross. Also choking in bed. Then her awful ex Richard calls her a whore and gets punched, as he should. And there’s an epilogue behind a paywall of spam emails. I feel like I need to create junk account just so I can access these epilogues without receiving so much junk mail to my main account. 
Turns out there are other books before this in a series, and now I have to go find them. 

TW/CW: use of the word “whore” in bed; sexual asphyxiation (strangulation)
