would’ve been a lot higher if it wasn’t for the whole

wah wah she killed my baby

bullshit. i was EXTREMELY close to DNFing but i was like 80% in and i hate quitting i’m way too nosy.

the hero was a dick but he was starting to grow on me until that point and after he just became unbearable!! i can deal with cruel mmcs but in this genre it felt weird for him to be so consistently mean with very little grovel. if it was fantasy e2l/dark romance/etc i wouldn’t give a shit but i can’t suspend my disbelief here so i didn’t like it it just ruined the book for me.

to end this on a good note i really loved harper and her friendship with ava (and really enjoyed the writing otherwise) so it’s not all bad!

I saw this book on Booktok and was wondering if it was worth the hype. My wonderful friends got me this for my 22nd birthday. Let’s just say this was a super easy, light read that deals with some heavy topics such a domestic violence, grief and toxic relationships well.

This book follows Ava Breevort, she thinks the universe is conspiring against. She is forced to return to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend and she thinks the worse is over, until she gets to the airport and finds out a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas has delayed her flight back to Boston. Her last attempt to salvage the trip was destroyed by arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott who takes the last first-class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover Ava’s ever had. Ava thinks that is the last time she will see Caleb and he will be forever known as the guy she had the best sex with . . . until Caleb shows up on her doorstep. When pure chance pulls Ava back into Caleb’s orbit, he proposes they enjoy their friends with benefits whilst he is stranded in Boston. Ava agrees, knowing her hearts in no danger since she can barely stand Caleb and his existence in her life is temporary. Not long after they started this arrangement Ava realizes she’s made a terrible error because as it’s turns out Caleb Scott isn’t so unlikeable after all. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, Ava must decide whether to fight her feelings for him or give into them.

I want a Caleb please and thank you. I thought he was hilarious and smoking hot and so overprotective but also wants Eva to realise her full potential and have fun whilst doing it. I thought this storyline was slightly cheesy but in a way that makes me want more and made me slightly addicted. I loved all the characters in this book (except Vince, F You Vince and Nick, he can go and screw himself.). I loved the constantly internal debate that Ava was having, like yes, this man is the best sex I ever had, but he’s an arse and I don’t want him more than that. I think Harper is a kick-ass woman and I would die for her.

I would love to see another book in this series like the Twisted Series by Ana Huang, where we see another character from this universe get the HEA they deserve (I want Harper to have her own book and get her own happily ever after please and thank you.)

the author probably: actually annoying & unlikeable characters who have no chemistry with each other deserve to be main characters in romance novels too!

the mmc is a walking red flag and somehow the fmc is the one that always ends up apologizing to this toxic waste of space??
