Just finished this on audio. It's a chaotic hot mess that's confusing, strange, disjointed and messily written, but somehow addicting enough to keep going. The cliffhanger at the end got me hooked, so here I am, diving into book two. Let's see if it gets better or if I'm just a sucker for punishment!

Read this book because a friend and tik tok. Had a hard time wanting to even pick up the book after starting it. Only stayed to find who killed grandma (Gigi). Also, really didn’t like the main characters but loved most of the side characters like Daya, Sibby, and Jay.

Love, love, love. Everyone tells me it's traumatizing, and it's not amazing but it's not even horrible! Although it is pretty dark so the trigger warnings would be good to read... I honestly love Zade and his dedication. Could he have approached the situation differently? Yes. But he did it so she wouldn't be petrified of him when she found out who he really was... it's cute I guess. He's cute. Too cute.

My opinion might be unpopular on this one and no offense to those who enjoyed it but I got bored.

Dark as in there is triggering themes and scenes in regards to human trafficking and stalking. But overall a great book. Well written and I couldn't get enough of it even when it had me going wtf
