Im glad I listened to the audio books. The voice actors made the dialog funny as hell and when Josh

had the voice modifier

I was losing my mind. It was a fun read/listen.

My only gripe is the use of the miscommunication trope but it's so small that I can mostly get over it.

I started this audiobook without having read the blurb, with a vague memory of a recommendation from a friend. I also managed to dislocate my toe and miss the triggers. 😅

I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did when it started. I usually avoid nursing stories and almost turned it off. This said, it quickly became one of my favourite books of the last few months. It's a good story and spicy, but most importantly it was funny because it was FUNNY, not because the spice was awful like in lots of smut books. 😂 I was laughing out loud so much and loved the characters, especially Josh. I especially loved that Aly behaved in a realistic way to the sexy masked guy she's been fawning over breaks into her house. She doesn't just go 'ooh a lovely normal thing to have happened'.

Properly good fun and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me!

A massive uptick in writing quality from Jasmine Mas, but that's still a very low bar. There are definitely some eye-rolling moments, like Josh being a sentient bicep who's also a master hacker (and Italian-Algerian???) and Aly's uncle being in THEE mob, but overall a fun, stupid book that was a welcome reprieve from reading my usual extremely sad nonfiction books. Kinda disappointed the book leans so heavily on stigmatized ideas surrounding personality disorders, but that's also like going to Applebee's and being disappointed their steak isn't amazing, so :shrug:

I’ve never seen such insane sex scenes written down and published, and it ruled.

Still don’t understand why every romance book has to end in an engagement or a pregnancy. I feel like these two would just be happy chilling and growing together for like at least a few more years before they took that step. But whatever.

Took lots of turns I didn’t expect but sometimes a bit hard to suspend my disbelief about it. A fun dark read with a lot of spice.

"the couple who slays together, stays together."

okay, here we go. on top of the ridiculously cringey quote on the cover, this has to be one of the worst books i have ever read in my entire life. a letdown would be an understatement, unfortunately. 

let me start by listing out things i hated:
the excessive use of "IRL"
aly's ridiculous tiktok comments
aly losing her shit entirely over a man on tiktok that wears a mask
her ridiculous obsession with him, especially as an adult at her adult job/workplace 
that one cringe line about josh dicking her down or whatever he said 
"aly in her villain era"
"praise kink: unlocked"
“are you std free?” /during/ a sexual encounter, mind you...
“every few seconds, my inner muscles clenched as if to remind me that they didn’t have a dick to squeeze, and they were not happy about that fact”
“these masked thirst trappers had no idea how feral they made people”
“reader, i puke-laughed. and, no. i do not recommend it"
the fact that aly cannot go five seconds without sharing how sexy josh is and how her ovaries are bound to explode if she looks at him one more time
"mommy/daddy time"

things i enjoyed:
the two times (i'm being serious) i laughed at lines that were actually funny

moving on...this book has zero plot aside from the fact that josh has a "masktok" account and every single one of his followers thirsts over him, including our fmc aly. the stalker aspect was hardly stalkerish, the dirty talk during sex was vile, the "hacker" job that josh has seems a little too convenient, and someone please tell me why aly's vibrator is "molded from a famous porn actor's dick"??? and for the romance part, where was the romance? i'll be the first one to say that sex does not equal romance, and this had a lottt of sex / sexual innuendos / inner monologues about sex, yet zero romance. the only romance-type thing i can think of is how josh was averagely nice to aly's can, and even then, that is the bare minimum for your girlfriend's pet.

aly's personality traits:
having a cat
being excessively horny
having no common sense
wanting josh so incredibly bad 
having a troubling past that we don't really learn about until halfway through the book

josh's personality traits:
making everything sexual
having a "masktok" account
being down bad for aly even though he met her once
worrying about wanting to hurt/kill aly's cat on accident
worrying about being like his serial killer dad every god damn chapter

as someone who loved haunting adeline, josh felt like the dollar store version of zade meadows. i went into this book pretty much blind, the only knowledge i had was that it was a stalker romance, and i am thoroughly disappointed. also, if i had known about this "masktok" thing before reading, i would not have spent my own adult money on this book. save your time and money, do not read or buy this book unless you enjoy hate-reads.
