CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS COVERED.
I read the book a long time ago, but I've just read one review and thought I should update this.
👍Things I liked👍
--> LEVI! I loved this man. I'm totally in love. (Don't recommend me his and his wife's book. It will ruin my mental image of him, I'm sure.)
--> The domestic scenes were so precious (e.g., seeing Agatha Christie together)
--> There were very comic sentences/scenes
--> I actually loved how they killed Grace
--> I liked how it was a woman SA a man and how it happened.

👎Things I didn’t like👎
--> DUB CONSENT.
We just understand it is consented because of Bran's pov (still, there is a scene where they have sx against a tree that... naah). Regardless, we can see Nik not caring abt Bran's consent - he actually says it.

--> Niko is way too irrealistically described like this awesome sx god. At 19. Again.. A character that has a mental condition who associates sx and violence (said by him) is a sx god. Great at it! Pleasuring everyone and
grasping Bran's assexuality like Flash. No.

--> Nik getting jealous of a child. That is just ridiculous. 
--> Grace is a stupid villain. Like literally. Besides the exaggerated flare she has, she sends the incriminating footage of what she did to another person. What? I mean, she made till now... She doesn't seem that dumb...


Finally... This is not a thing I dislike but just something I want to mention. They have a codependent relationship, which is normal because none of them is in an even slightly healthy place. But one of the famous sentences is "I'll love you for both of us" (said by Nik). This may seem great and romantic, but it is not. The last season of Heartstopper, where Nick talks to his aunt at the beach (if I'm not mistaken), just popped into my mind by being the exact opposite of this sentence.

If I start talking about this book I will never stop. You’d waste precious time reading this review when you could be using that time to read this book instead. If I could give this 10 stars I would.

This was a ride y’all.

I’ve been putting off reading this one bc of people calling it the best MM romance they’ve read. Expectations were high, to say the least.

But after a few pages in, I understood. I don’t know how the book manages to be so fucking hilarious but heart-wrenching at the same time, but it was a treat.
Heated Rivalry is still my favorite MM romance, but everything about this book was top tier. The humor, the banter, the smut, the tension. I don’t know how to explain this, but at times this book felt like an out-of-body experience. I devoured it in a day, somehow, while also having to act like a normal member of society and study for an test I had the next day. So yeah.
