3.5

I'm having a hard time deciding on a rating for this book. I can't decide whether I'll be giving it 3 or 3.5. After some thought, decided to give it a 3.5 since I did enjoy it. The last 49% of the book I read in one sitting. I love the banter in this book the right kind of banter that makes you want more. The story or plot is okay. It's somewhat predictable but at the same time, this is a romance book what do you expect? Overall, I enjoyed it. I'm probably going to continue reading the series.

First of all, I was very entertained by this book and had a good time reading it. However, that doesn't mean that it's particularly good. 

What makes me go 'meh' the most is the character Alex.

For a so called 'genius' he really makes some dumb ass decisions throughout the book. Like oh noo who could've expected that Ava would get drawn into this? Yea.

 
The spicy scenes are good in my opinion, as they are rough but 100% consensual. Some other things don't reflect that consent though,

as he straight up turns into a stalker to get her forgiveness in the end. He doesn't take a no for an answer and takes every chance of getting away from him away from her.

I usually like the grumpy x sunshine trope and yea, the posessiveness is kinda hot but

not taking a no for an answer and turning into a stalker...?

...Nah. 
Also... Ana Huang said in an interview that she likes 'morally grey characters' like Alex. And I get it. But yoo that might be... a bit much...?

He seeks justice himself and violently kills two people in the process and then turns the damn house to ashes to hide it all (Men would do anything instead of going to therapy lmao). And Ava just kind of... ignores that and is only hurt because she thinks his feelings for her are a lie. Everything else is just kind of overlooked.

The girl friend group are likeble though, as is her brother Josh. The plot was thrilling, though a little bit predictable. I'd say it's an easy read, and, as I said, still entertaining. Maybe a good entry into darker romance. 
I will keep reading the series and I'm looking forward to the other characters, couples and tropes.

It’s not the worst book I’ve ever read but it’s not great. The plot is quite boring. The chemistry between Alex and Ava is forced and the story line and side characters are really corny. It’s like if a Disney channel original movie had sex in it. I’m not sure if I’ll read the other 3.
