I can totally understand why booktok girlies would question how and why Jules could forgive Josh for what he did. Because he did indeed mess up, twice. I am also wondering that but considering the experiences they’ve gone through together, I’d say the development and establishment of their relationship was pretty well done.
Many people say the Twisted series has: 3 millionaires and a Josh.
And I’ll be honest, I want a Josh. What’s wrong with a Josh? At least he isn’t as stalker-ish as the other three 🤦♀️
He had all the love languages.
Words of Affirmation - his way with Jules was to bicker. (No I’m not being sarcastic)
Physical touch - we know ;)
Quality time -
Gift Giving -
Acts of Service -
Overall, this book was pretty worth the read. I’d be honest and say that some characters and their plots are planned a little to basically, like the character Max. However, Josh Chen is the standard 🤩 (except his occasional clouded anger issues💀)

Overall, this was fun. I’d say it’s tied with Love for my favorite so far. I like Jules more than Ava, but Alex more than Josh. I think J+J’s relationship arc is more realistic, but A+A’s dynamic is more entertaining.
The best part, though, hands down, was seeing the stage set for the next book, which is unabashedly the reason I’ve read the others. Christian is so whipped already and it’s delightful. ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)
Current series ranking:
- Twisted Love/Twisted Hate
- Twisted Games
Representation:
- fat protagonist
- Chinese-American protagonist & side character
- multiracial side character (Japanese, Black & Puerto Rican)
- lesbian side character
Graphic: Sexual content and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Medical content, Death, Death of parent, and Child abuse
Minor: Fire/Fire injury, Car accident, and Drug abuse
Sexual content is explicit but always consensual. Sexual harassment is of one protagonist by a side character, in the form of using a sex tape as blackmail. There are mentions of death, near-death situations and child abuse from the protagonists’ pasts, and of blood and various injuries due to one of them working as an ER doctor. Things tagged minor are the methods of various deaths mentioned over the course of the book. It’s also mentioned that a side character was almost drowned as a child.pippamillerxoxo_'s review against another edition

- friends w benefits trope
- THAT scene after Jules confessed about the painting
- Josh
1. The friends with benefits trope isn’t my favourite because you don’t get the confession scene and the first kiss, but thats just my own personal opinion and isn’t my biggest problem with the book since its just a trope i don’t like and not a problem with the actual plot or writing as a whole.
2. Don’t even TRY to defend josh here because that was so wrong in so many different ways. I understand that he was hurt and felt betrayed, especially from past experiences but that was absolutely no excuse for manipulating Jules like that. Call it whatever you want but that was plain manipulation, and me personally would NOT have forgiven josh in that situation. Tbh i would’ve started going out with that Asher dude instead.
3. I think its clear why i hate josh. Although the max scene redeemed him, a little bit.
