UNTIL MY JAW LOCKS FOR DR. JOSH CHEN.

LOL, okay in all seriousness, this one has to be my favorite in the series. Like most romance readers, I love a good hate-to-love trope. It was so funny and entertaining, like the ‘how many more #’s can I get than you’ bet had me ROLLLLING.
It was actually also adorable?
BUT JOSH — “I lied.” — EXCUSE ME?! I wasn’t ready for that. However, by the end, I understood and was immensely satisfied. Fkn AWESOME.

I think I fell in love with these two even more than I already was. I’m obsessed with both Josh and Jules and I definitely think this will be a book I constantly reread

I liked the dynamics and it had spice but was kinda bland for that hate feeling it needed

i'm one of those people that believes love and hate are two sides of the same coin. both emotions make you feel the same things, just on opposite sides of the same spectrum-hopefully that makes sense. that being said, i both hate and love Josh and Jules' dynamic. i saw a glimpse of what they would eventually become in the first book, but maybe that's just me loving the best friend's brother trope (blame Victorious).

when i first started reading this book i was coming down from my high of reading Twisted Games, and it was the early hours of the morning so my thoughts were disorganized. i was trying to piece together any and everything in the beginning of the book and get over the realization that i wouldn't be reading this book for the first time again (this always happens when i finish a book and it makes me extremely sad), so i tried to make notes chronicling my thoughts and emotions when i started reading so i could make a more insightful-ish review. that didn't work. i gave up before i hit the 100th page i'm sure. so enjoy my chaotic, bullshit review as i try to organize everything i thought and felt while reading Josh and Jules' story! <3





i already knew Jules was the most relatable character for me. from the glimpses of her i saw in the two previous books, just the fact that she was a redhead with a sharp tongue IMMEDIATELY sold her for me. she was instantly my favorite, and i didn't need much convincing. i knew it from the first page of this book and i agree with her. every time i see a guy holding a fish, or any other d*ad animal, on a dating app, i swipe left. no exceptions. on top of her Grade A personality (no sarcasm, i'm being fr), i really loved how insecure she was. that sounds sick really, but it's something i can relate to. i know, on every level of my being, that i am gorgeous but there are always the glances from men at my body, the comments on my appearance when i tell them about my aspirations and shit like that that get me down in the dumps and i can't relate to her EXACTLY, but i do in my own way and that comforts me in a way.

it breaks my heart that even as a little girl Adeline felt like she had to compete with her daughter. instead of teaching her to love who she was, she instilled a fear and insecurity in her that would follow her for decades. it made her feel like she HAD to commit crimes with Max because he "rescued" her. she felt like she owed him because of her mother's incompetence to teach her to love and value herself in a way where no one could take away the respect she had for herself. she put the sanctity of her body on the line for a quick scheme that came back to bite her in the ass almost a decade later. and Max? that piece of shit should've been killed by Josh, but Josh never wanted to kill him and he wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he did. but still. i'm being angsty about it because Max is vile and i'm happy he's dead.

even from the beginning, the sexual tension between Jules and Josh was SO obvious. seriously, who were they kidding???

I loved it! Josh and Jules game the slowburn-friends with benefits-enemies to lovers content. They were so freaking cute. This book was worth the hype.
