“My greatest hope is to be in all-consuming love. My biggest fear is to be in all-consuming love.“

I’ve been seeing this book once every 10 reels/video so it got me curious as to why people are reading it. I know it’s a series but goddamn I didn’t expect the first book to be unanswered questions. It made me so confused the more I read into it and even last few chapters did not help one bit. It ended in a cliff-hanger but the me right now does not even have the will to read the next book to know what the actual fuck is happening.

Although what surprised me is the “love triangle” which I did not expect.

Got this as a gift so gave it a second shot. The FMC was insufferable the whole way through. I put the book down after chapter 4 a few months ago but picked it up again to see what the hype was about. The relationships that blossomed were cringe. The dialogue was abysmal. This book is probably 90% “what am I gonna do about this f*ckboy” and girl just needed to grow up! The entire book they’re building up to a secret that is barely revealed in the last 5 pages. From the descriptions and reviews I didn’t really know what to expect but it definitely wasn’t graphic smut and gaslighting men. I wish I didn’t waste my time with this book.

Rating: 3/5 stars

Honestly, I read this book and I’m still not entirely sure what it was about. There’s a romance and some secrets and a small town, I can tell you that much.

This is a hard book to write a review for because I’m still not quite sure how I felt about it. On the positive side, I was definitely entertained, and the ending had me continuing to turn pages because I wanted to know what happened. I will also definitely be reading book two, because at this point I’m in too deep not to know what happens. I didn’t LOVE any of the characters, but Dom was pretty hot in a few specific moments.

That said, I was also regularly frustrated by the FMC, the MMCs, and basically everyone in the book. I didn’t understand the secrets and felt like the final reveals were simultaneously bonkers and lackluster (don’t understand how they could be both? I don’t either but if you read this book you might get it). The third act breakup had me so confused I can’t stop thinking about it and making myself angry all over again. The final sentence….was something, but I can’t tell you what because of spoilers.

The short version is I don’t regret reading this, but I’m not sure I’d go so far as to recommend it either. I look forward to discussing with my book club and reporting back after I’ve read EXODUS!

The main character is annoyingly naive, needy and ignorant, yet somehow irresistable-at-first-glance to the mysterious bad boys in town.

Not very convincing and the plot needed a lot more oomph, but I liked the Robin Hood vibes and the smut was decent.

Okay the only thing I remember ab this book is she worked at a factory and when she turned 19 she explored relationships 😀 in a more intimate connection. These fellas kept big secret and now she is probs gonna die. The smut was nice the book just felt drawn out😊 👍🏼
