LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL, lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥

The writing was good! Let it be know that this book is a TABOO plot! I went in unknowingly, enjoyed it but I was definitely punching the air a few times! 
It’s a “will they won’t they” set up 

FOR GOOD REASON. 

AND when they OOO CHIIILLLLEEE I had to hang on for the ride!
Uncle Jake should have known better!! 💀💀💀 is it just me or did you want her to end up with Noah?! I was hanging on the edge of my bed when the couch scene dropped! I really wasn’t expecting Kaleb to come for her 🥹🥹

I did not know what I was even reading. There were some good parts then others that made me want to stab my eyes with a fork. I hate Jake. I hope he trips and faceplants into a pile of hot horse shit. The second the main character turned 18 he was on her like a cat in heat. Not to mention that she still called him uncle sometimes. I liked Noah and the other guy. DNF It could of been worse

I’m not sure how I feel about this book. I only read it because of BookTok. It was interesting to say the least. 

A lot of things bothered me such as the very toxic relationships she has with all of them. I wasn’t too fond of her relationship with Jake. I’m still not sure why she was in love with Kaleb. Especially after he treated her the way he did. I didn’t enjoy the small amount of sexual violence. The spicy parts were very well written but I didn’t enjoy the actual story it was telling. To be honest, I’m not actually sure what the story was supposed to be about other than this young girl and her reverse haram.

All that being said, I think if you love dark romance, this is the perfect book for you. Others, proceed at your own risk.
