I could not be more obsessed with this book! My love story is very similar to this one so it hit home. I am floating after binging this audiobook in one day. 🤪🙌😍

Fall down the BookSmutTok hole where 50 Shades meets old money senior school at Lancaster Prep, where enemies turn to hardcore lovers despite their families' objections. 
  
Dark with darker sub-storylines, Monica Murphy builds the characters quite slowly as they show themselves to each other. Lots of adult themes and situations that are quite unrealistic yet fantastical to read and daydream about.

When you need to read something with a dark and possessive hero, just think of Whit! He gives me intense Carter vibes but a sort of lite version.

This is heavy on the sex, but I loved it. At first it’s just nothing but lust. This isn’t like a love story I think it’s a lust to obsession to the brokenness of two people merging together.

The only reason I didn’t give us a five star is because I really wanted a definitive resolution between his sister and Summer.

Like was her friendship and ask for real or did she decide to be the way she was in the end because of her mother.

But other than that this is a great toxic love story, and I will be rereading this again. Definitely will recommend!

i actually enjoyed this more than i did the first time around but i rate things differently now. the writing style is really charming to me so even though there isn’t a lot of romantic development (imo) i liked reading it. it was a little OTT and very angsty but that’s exactly what i enjoy reading right now. i do feel disappointed that

her and sylvie never went back to the way they were before though, she was my favourite character and their falling out felt so out of nowhere

. i’m curious to see how the timeline matches up in sylvie’s story but i want to take a break from the series first.
