I'm so conflicted on this because I really loved it at first!! I thought was moving a bit slowly and I would have liked some more action sooner but it was alright. 

The way Josh handled Jules' confession though, just made me so uncomfortable. The sex scenes were already a bit too dub-con for my taste but this one? He was straight up using sex for punishment and yes, she had a way of tapping out, but they were both clearly not in the right mind space to have sex at that time.

I was really annoyed at Alex in the last book and honestly the first one too, but 1) he was absolutely hilarious in this one and 2) at least my man doesn't have an identity crisis halfway through beating someone up 😤 I hate the "blablabla I'm a doctor which means I can just as well kill people as I can save them" but I read a lot of medical romance, so I've gotten used to it. What I don't want to get used to is ER doctors beating up people to a fucking pulp 💀 AND OFTER AFTER REALISING IT COULD COST THEM THEIR CAREERS like where did all that supposed doctor intelligence go

idk i expected more from this but the first ~70% were still good. won't be reading the next one though.

If there is one thing I love about Ana Huang’s romance novels, is that when the couple inevitably breaks up, they don’t spend CHAPTERS heart broken and angry. Twisted Hate is a classic enemies to lovers romance novel with the right amount of clapbacks, attitude and smut.

I’m glad we see Josh get the closure he deserves and his relationship with Alex recovers

Ever since I read, and loved Twisted Love, where we get to see a few fiery interactions between Jules and Josh I knew I needed to read their book. We get enemies to lovers between Ava’s [the MC of Twisted Love] BFF and older brother and it is steamy.

Seven years ago Jules befriended Ava and Josh has been against the friendship ever since. Only seeing Jules as a bad influence who’s prone to trouble Josh doesn’t want his younger sister anywhere near her and has been very vocal about it.

A lifetime of people disregarding and making assumptions about her has led Jules to despise anyone who looks down on her especially overconfident, and rude, future doctors like Josh Chen.

Both Jules and Josh are positive they know exactly who the other is…and hate them. Little do they know when forced together they may find they’re not that different after all.

I was not prepared for how good this book was. A fan of enemies to lovers and the BFF’s brother tropes I knew I was going to enjoy reading this book I just didn’t anticipate how much. Not only do we get great tropes between Jules and Josh but we also get to see Josh handle his severed relationship with his father and his ex-BFF Alex. Getting to see both characters face their pasts and overcome them had me cheering for them individually as well as together.

Knowing nothing about book four, which will feature Stella and Christian, I’m excited to see what happens. I feel like we’ll finally get more information about the stalker Stella dealt with, and since Christian is in security maybe she goes to him for help…really curious to see their love story unfold.

OH THEYRE MY BESTIES FR FR.

surprisingly good like i cannot express how much better this is than the first 2 books. josh and jules actually seemed to have chemistry and be into each other like it just all made sense???? writing was still a bit cringe at times but the plot was engaging with the 2 mc’s actually being complex and having a bit of substance. like honestly actually really quite good
