THIS REVIEW IS NOT SPOILER FREE. I want to like this book more than I do. Hopefully the others will hit more but OMFG WHAT DO YOU MEAN RYKE IS LIKE 23 WHEN DAISY IS 15 LMAO ARENT THEY SUPOOSED YO BE FAVS??? Anyway I do enjoy lily an lo's relationship that's why it's in the 3's the plot was ehh for me though. I think I wanted more buildup of their friendships with other people and their family. Maybe the other books will give me that. ALSO way too much shit going on in the first book how are we getting a brother reveal, rehab storylines, hitting rock bottom (SEVERAL TIMES), making friends. There's just so much happening and it's all going so fucking fast. How are we hitting rock bottom and then he's immediately trying to get sober??? Idk it's just the quickness and messiness of the plot I have issues with I genuinely like everything else

Loved Lo & Lil together and how they are best friends firsts and lovers second. This book had me cryingggg. They both have a lot to work on so I’m hoping we see that in the next books 🥲

Somehow, this story hooked me. Is it the best I've ever read? No, definitely not. But it is entertaining which is more than enough.
I have to say that I don't really like Lo for some reason, but maybe we'll get to know him better in the future. I really like Lily and Rose and I hope to see more of her sisters in the future. I somehow also like Connor, even though he was annoying at first haha.
Reading about all the ways in which Lily and Lo enable their respective addictions is not easy and at times, painful. I really hope they both get help in the next books and I'm excited to see them grow, as individual persons and as a couple.

5.0

Purely subjective but this book was SO GOOD. I needed this rollercoaster and it hit home way too hard. Is this a romance? Not really rather following characters. Is this accurate representation? I don't know about the addiction part but dealing with mental illness and how dynamics change was WAY too accurate. Lily and Lo have my heart and felt really realistic. The problems they face and behaviour just made sense. Besides, the side-characters are pretty interesting and add to the story.
Yes, it's character based and probably over dramatic but if you like the characters the ending will have you in a chokeholed (at least I was lol). Not overthinking this review but straight off the bat and influenced by the emotional ending it's five stars.

I loved the characters (Loren Hale has my heart), but did find Lily so frustrating at times (eek I know that’s the point, and its meant to be difficult to talk about and I know its my own biases that made it uncomfortable). I am looking forward to the rest of the books because I want to see them healthy and happy - you do really want to root for them both. In saying that, I do think a lot more could have happened in the first book, the last 50 pages were the most engaging part. It was also really heartwarming see Rose and Lily’s dynamic shift so much towards the end (found family kinda vibes with Connor and Ryke too).
