slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Finished the whole book and while I loved it at first it was just so slow and the actually love part was lacking. The end the fmc FRUSTRATED ME. It just didn’t feel like a real ending to me because there was just too much back and forth. I also spotted some spelling and plot mistakes. Like that there were two body bags at some point and then the one girl lived with her but then didn’t and a few other things that didn’t make sense. I’m not going to actually rate it because I don’t like dragging down the start but it was probably like a 2 or 3 stars because there were certainly some aspects that I loved but her childish behavior and their righting really got on my nerves. this book and story had so much potential :(

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

2.5

• bloody well hate miscommunication man, why couldn’t he just tell her the damn truth about the prison visits
• characters are so immature, they overthink everything and refuse to communicate
• jax was so damn toxic, so pushy and refuses to listen to what brey wants I am not here for it
• I’ll allow it for the spicy scenes
• but lord what happened with Jay that character development came out of nowhere
• could definitely have been 100 pages shorter, super repetitive and so much unnecessary conflict
• i enjoyed the vibes but the relationship felt a little too toxic and restrictive for me rather than 'protective' possessive

TWs: Domestic abuse, panic attacks, alcoholism, bullying, foster care (mentioned), homicide, fire, suicide, claustrophobia, mention of rape, vomiting, cheating

zabeishumanish's review against another edition

challenging dark tense slow-paced

3.0

TW: domestic abuse, child abuse, toxic relationship all very graphically described. 

This book is tied for the most toxic relationship I’ve ever seen in a romance novel. It would be flat-out number 1 if the characters didn’t all acknowledge the toxicity of it, and I’d like to believe that counts for something. That said I do love a good “two fucked up people coming together” story and this is a pretty damn good one.
