minion2r's review against another edition
DNF 55%. I really hated the love interest and I don’t think I’m supposed to hate him. Maybe find him annoying I guess but I really did not like how he treated Daisy and it certainly didn’t help that I absolutely adored her. She was great and I seriously only kept reading because of her. But he treated her like crap and looked down on her and thought she was weak simply because of how she acted and was brought up. He was domineering and abusive and just downright mean and then chalked it up to “I had a bad childhood”. You know, she did too and she didn’t turn out a pathetic asshole, right? I only got this far in the book because I loved Daisy and I loved her character development and how STRONG she was. What a queen. Sorry for my rant I just really loathed this guy

daisy is the biggest doormat i’ve ever seen. she was good at the beginning but then she lost her backbone. i don’t respect her. and the telepathic connection she has with the tiger is so ??? apparently they see each others souls and can talk to each other? i dont understand. i liked the tiger tho he was cool. the tiger and the elephant are the best part of the book.
alex made me uncomfortable. he threatens her with a whip for fun. he makes her cigarettes somehow explode to stop her from smoking. i still don’t understand how he does this. his character development was poorly done imo. grovelling? where? also the smut made me uncomfortable. and him calling her ‘angel face’….ew.
i didn’t really feel any chemistry between daisy and alex. the angst was not there, the tension was nonexistent. i also don’t care for either of their characters. their motivations make no sense to me. daisy should’ve left when he gave her the opportunity tbh she would’ve been better off.
the book is set in a circus which i’ve never read before. it was different, but also i didn’t care much about it. after 2/3 the book just went so downhill. the third act was absolutely terrible. the side characters were mostly annoying. i actually liked heather, but i don’t understand why the epilogue was in her pov that made no sense to me.

his throat closed. “it’s all right, sweetheart. i love you enough for the both of us.”
alex and daisy markov (aka living sunshine) in their quaint little trailer with their crazy circus family…. my fucking people.
