What did I just read?  Why did I even read it?

I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely did not deliver.  Also, the twist was obvious from a mile away.

I think I was swayed by those that said they loved the couple.  I've read darker romances before and they've been meh to okay so I figured, maybe this is the one.  It was not the one.

Most of this book I found really boring. I honestly thought about dnfing tons of times, but the ending kind of redeemed it. The last ~15% was so good and I’m going to continue with the series. I didn’t find either of the main characters lovable, and most of their actions were very frustrating. I really liked Rose and Connor though, and I figured something was up with Ryke. At this point I’m mostly just reading through so I can read Kiss the Sky cause I love Rose & Connor, but I’m also cheering for Lo & Lily to get better.

First of all: NO ONE TOLD ME THAT THIS BOOK WAS ACTUALLY A SAD BOOK!? Like what??🥹

I wasn’t expecting to cry because, until 86% of the book I didn’t like Lily at all. But when your done reading it you can only love her, and love Loren even more.🤍
This book actually made me understand that addiction can be really destructive and dangerous..

This was a tough but great story. I had to put it down several times just to collect myself and regroup but found myself picking up not long after each stop. 

The depiction of both lily and Lo's addictions were so well written I found it difficult to read at times with the emotional and physical toll it took on both of them. 

I feel this story is an important read for that very reason. People should read this to see just how bad addictions can be and the toll it can have on those with an addiction. But I feel it's especially important with the depiction of lily's sex addiction as it shows how it's not taken as seriously as other addictions, especially since she a woman with how society views a woman being sexual in the first place.

By the end I was very proud of both of them for taking steps to heal from their addictions after they both hit their worst. And I was so happy that they had gained a support system outside of just the two of them that they could rely on. 

I'm excited to see what happens next for them in the following books.
