*Read 'Twisted Love' for the first time in 2021 but my review reflects my re-read in 2023*

4.5 ⭐️ / 3🌶️

My first Ana Huang book and it will definitely not be my last.

I don't know what she added to this book but it's straight up crack on my system and I need more of it. Would have been 5 stars but the second hand embarrassment from the singing scene will not let me do it. Doesn't need to deter you of reading at the very least you will get a good laugh at the end.

Ava and Alex were definitely meant for each other and their story made my heart ache. Apart from the singing scene there really is nothing I did not like and I can't wait for the rest of the books.

I love the four girls friendship but I specially love Ava and Jules' friendship. Jules was like a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to read her story.

Tropes:
-Brother's best friend
-Billionaire romance
-Forced proximity
-3🌶️

Conflicting because I did read this fast and was Lowkey excited but it also felt like being on Wattpad reading fanfics! It was fun tho! I wanted something fun and light and this was it! Alex is a menace throughout the entire thing (deregatory)!

i read it in just a few days. Alex is a bono and a great book-character (but i won’t hide that i’d probably run away from someone like him).
