This was an emotional ride. Jesus f***. (Review written after reading the 3 books)
I’m a sucker for a flawed and real feeling character so of course I was immediately sucked into this book and latched on to the heroine Mia.
Mia is exactly my type of heroine. She was so dead inside and done with life and I just love these types of characters. She doesn't feel things at all, while Olllie, our hero, feels way too much.
It’s very well written, and tells a great love story.
Stay With Me handles some tough topics and is a bit dark so it might not appeal to all readers. Fiorina manages to blend the darker topics with sweet moments though. If you want a story that will tear your heart to pieces, provide tons of angst, and leave you desperate for more, this is your book. I must applaud Nicole Fiorina's writing as well-she has a smooth style that draws you in.
I loved the interactions between Bitchy Mia and Sweetheart Ollie and man, I was swooning at Ollie's sweet gestures like the library and the croissants. ♥️

I honestly don’t know how to feel. Overwhelmed, mind-blown, broken, speechless. I went into this blind but I had a few friends talk nonstop about this series. This isn’t a book I can necessarily categorize. It’s a romance, but not in your rom com ways.
This was raw, real, a relationship that has the odds stacking up against them. But watching Mia grow into herself - her character development was so truly beautiful. Ollie pushed her limits, challenged her, fought for her and vowed he wouldn’t save her. That he would show her how to save herself - and that had me weak in the knees.
Their love was cinematic and magnetic. I never rooted for a couple so hard. He brought out the light in her and in return she fought tooth and nail for him.
The first chapter in this book was a foreshadowing of what the ending would be. It was like watching a car accident. You knew the end result but you can’t look away.
And I dived hard into this book. I kid you not - Ollie has ruined me. Everything he says is poetic. Everything he does is swoon worthy. I literally tabbed every page he was on. And I’m not ready to have my heart break into pieces in the next book. But I strongly recommend this series and look up trigger warnings.

This book was heartbreaking and it touched my soul like no books before.
It took me time to finish it because reading it was too much. Each page was painful and broke me but only to shape me better.
It was a very personal read for some reason, and the first 60% of the book felt like heaven and hell at the same time. In a good way obviously.
If Love was a book, this would be it. The mix between beauty in its natural way and true and healthy love is so strong that it crushed my lungs. It also brings a huge amount of sadness, we can feel it on every page more or less.
Mia is so realistic, perfectly written (reactions, thoughts...) everything is done as it would be in real life. The trauma is well described -even though I would have better prefer another approach of the psychologist for a few reasons.
It's the first time in my psychological carrier I meet a fictional character that was precisely written, with a psychological problem that is Bert close to reality, in her reactions, thoughts, and self-defense mechanism.
The only thing that makes me want to take back the « this book is my favorite of all time » I said, I’d Ollie’s condition.
While Mia’s traumatic defense was well mastered, very similar to what we study in victimology, courses I follow, Ollie’s condition is not realistic.
EI does exist, but the medication doesn't make the person its personality or joy. It doesn't turn it into a robot. Yes, your feelings are mitigated and it can be odd at first, but never it changes the feeling inside.
It bothered me because it took a huge part of the last chapters.
I found Mia’s story heartbreaking and touching but I found “too much” in what followed. The Oscar and Isaac thing? Not credible at all…
That being said, I loved this book so much and annotated almost every page.
