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.

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).

I have been in SUCH a romance book lull recently — everything is boring me and I haven’t really been rooting for any of the characters I’ve been introduced to. this is such a breath of fresh air: lily and lo (not a fan of lo’s name but I’ll get past it) make it so difficult to not be in their corner throughout this book. I actually did not cringe ONCE reading this!! I’ve never read about addiction in such a well-approached manner. it’s confronting but not jarring, easy to read while opening my mind to new (at least to me!) struggles and complexities. I’m invested in all of the characters’ storylines and there isn’t an authorial decision so far that I’ve questioned or disagreed with. it’s so rare for me to be connected to a character-driven storyline and I’m loving it!

genuinely very excited for the rest of the series!
