“A long shot?” I ask, pausing at the door to give him a cocky grin. “Last I heard, I’m pretty good at those.”
This was such a phenomenal read. Like honestly, mind fucking blown.
I saw the reviews, the raved, and of course, it's everywhere on bookstagram. It honestly deserves all the recognition.
This was an amazing read.
I am blown away I do not know where to start with my review.
Firstly, Kennedy Ryan is a brilliant writer.
Her writing was so simple yet so detailed and well planned in everything.
The way she structures her POVS, the balance of the characters, the before, during and after of the whole plotline and how it all strung together was so beautifully crafted.
The focus of the plotline was straight forward and of course, we are handling a lot of dark and heavy topics but the way she lets her story flow and the depth she puts in everything flawlessly.
Her characters, omg amazing.
The focus of the two main characters; Iris and August was a good balance of character development but definitely, we are more focused on Iris.
Following Iris storyline was definitely difficult but so important.
The rawness, honestly and how it's not a perfect development but the truth that parallels to the real world was an eye-opener.
What can we say August is a sweet heart.
Thank God he wasn't really like the typical big shot athlete and focus on all his kind of character.
He was an anchor to Iris character but at the same time Iris bloom independently and uniquely enough he chooses her over all the big wins if you understand what I mean.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series and venture on Kennedy Ryan's other works.
“Fucking Kenan. First, he elbows my head. Now, he blocks my cock.”
