Twisted Love sent me for a ride. The relationship that was built between Alex and Ava flourished into something unexpected and was able to come back to life after wilting through the thick of the plot. I came to love most if not all of the significant characters even through their flaws. I'm very satisfied with the ending, which soothed all of the wounds the characters endured and put to rest the losses.

I liked the book enough to finish it..

I liked the steamy scenes/ spice level, and I liked the plot twists. The story was interesting enough for me to keep reading. 

BUT: 

The possessiveness / stalker tendencies of Alex were SO bad - like if a man ever behaved this way with me I’d be calling the police and I hate how Ana Huang romanticized his behaviour. So much of the plot was cringey and unrealistic. The writing is not going to win any awards either.

All of the characters were fantastic. The plot was crazy (your jaw will drop). Writing that is simple to read (believe me, I'm dyslexic). Medium spiciness. I finishe it in a week, which is unusual for me because I was so consumed in the novel.I would HIGHLY recommend
