Josh Chen and Jules Ambrose are just so adorable. Their relationship development was slow in the middle but it was completely understandable as they had to transition from hate to love. 

I can totally understand why booktok girlies would question how and why Jules could forgive Josh for what he did. Because he did indeed mess up, twice. I am also wondering that but considering the experiences they’ve gone through together, I’d say the development and establishment of their relationship was pretty well done. 

Many people say the Twisted series has: 3 millionaires and a Josh. 
And I’ll be honest, I want a Josh. What’s wrong with a Josh? At least he isn’t as stalker-ish as the other three 🤦‍♀️
He had all the love languages. 
Words of Affirmation - his way with Jules was to bicker. (No I’m not being sarcastic)
Physical touch - we know ;)
Quality time -
would skip his fav trip just to
spend time with Jules
Gift Giving -
preparing a whole trip for her when Jules finished her bar exam? Dreamy
 
Acts of Service -
massage Jules when she had cramps and treat Jules well by spoiling her with her favourite food and drinks even when she didn’t ask for them


Overall, this book was pretty worth the read. I’d be honest and say that some characters and their plots are planned a little to basically, like the character Max. However, Josh Chen is the standard 🤩 (except his occasional clouded anger issues💀)

Plot involves revenge porn and blackmail, and the main conflict could be solved with one conversation between the characters. Overwrought and yet somehow boring.

Enemies to lovers, forbidden romance,  and single bed tropes are featured in this extra steamy romance. The characters really grew on me over the course of the story and their romance was spicy and sweet at the same time. I stayed up way too late to finish this one!

"Because the possibility of you is better than the reality of anyone else.”

There is something addictive in this shit because I am obsessed. By far my favourite in the series. I was giggling and squealing and just truly having THE BEST time (until the 80 - 91% mark, but we shall overlook that). On to the next.

Wow! Definitely, rough sex. I don't know about hate. Interesting read. This is my least favorite in the series. There was something missing between Jules and Josh. I loved the crazy banter and there is a transformation between the feeling  of hate and love. I enjoyed the ending, but I  didn't fully connect with the characters.
