the writing is jarring, it's really not for me. editing could be better, imo. the writing seems like the author cut out bits but didn't rework the sentences/scenes around them to make them flow.
it also feels like the author keeps telling that this is an omegaverse story rather than writing it to be one. the writing over explains in places I feel it shouldn't need to and is lacking important information for character building.
at 200+ pages into the book I don't feel a connection to the characters at all. I find the fmc's insecurities kind of annoying at this point, along with how everyone is handling them. she doesn't seem to have addressed them outside of acknowledging they exist and the reassurances given thus far have been mid at best. they wouldn't alleviate any insecurities for anyone, in my opinion, especially how they're presented.
I honestly couldn't give you their description, ages, passions, or differentiate any of the male mcs from one another if asked. at nearly 40% of the book I feel like we should have the all the mcs fleshed out and have the story progressing toward the conflict/resolution/hea.
also, after reading some threads on what twins are tired of seeing about twins portrayed in media, the incessant insecurities shown by the fmc about being a twin is tiresome.

I really wanted to love this one! I was working on my backstock of book reviews, and when I came across Knot All that Glitters, I was reminded of the first book in this series, this one, and even saw another one scheduled to come out in October! I could not wait to read that book, so I went back to read this one. I don’t know if it was where I was struggling with reading lately or just wanting more chaos in the book, but I was left wanting more. The book wasn’t bad. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy Esme’s story, but I really wanted some of the drama followed through, like her standing up to the press, the matchmaker causing drama, or even some left-field bad guy appearing, but we didn’t get that at all. I wanted a little more focus on her artwork and even seeing her pack meet her sisters because I feel like they would’ve all been hanging out a lot since the twins are so close. I just feel like tattoo artists would get a lot with rock bands. But it was an excellent omegaverse, and we had a ton of scenes with her and her pack. They do come together pretty early in the book, so we see a lot of steamy moments, but they don’t fully bond until the very end of the book due to Esme’s own issues. The book focuses heavily on her and her poor self-image; honestly, she had a very rough life growing up. It always seemed like they shoved her into a box that she didn’t fit in, and she was out on an island all alone. It was really devastating to learn just how alone she was, even though she and her twin really relied on one another a lot. They had completely different upbringings.

Be prepared for the insta-love trope! It’s tastefully done but if you’re not big on instant connections, this is not the book for you. It’s also an RH with some very spicy scenes that may be triggering for some readers, you’ve been warned.
I want to say I couldn’t relate to Esme but who doesn’t have mommy issues? I certainly have some stuff to think about after reading this one!
